Change in Stanza Location
In Ezra Pound's original notes on The Waste Land, he marked this stanza to come after the first stanza.
Eliot did not enact this change, perhaps to make the extremes in these stanzas more prominent, and perhaps to associate the idea of the Irish girl (addressed in the stanza from Tristan und Isolude) with the hyacinth girl.
