Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop 357

But there is no water

“it is most at home in secluded woodland and thickety retreats... it signifies the purity and sweetness, the water-dripping is noted as a celebration.

Who is the third who walks always beside you?​

This passage also parallels the story of Christ's resurrection in Luke 24:13-35. In this story, two of Christ's disciples meet a stranger on the road as they are traveling to Emmaus. The stranger is the resurrected Christ, but the disciples do not recognize him as they continue together to Emmaus. Christ chastises them for their lack of faith.

Explanation:

It is in the lines 356 and 357

Answer 2

Answer:

This line has been referred to from The Wasteland by T.S Eliot.

Here, the third person can be considered as "Christ".

Explanation:

The Wasteland is one of the most famous and significant poems of the 20th Century. It is divided into many parts and each part signifies something.

Jesus Christ or God can be considered as the third traveler because there is mention of an extra man with them and this can only be God.

There is also another perspective that may be due to lack of water and by traveling, they became exhausted and started hallucinating, so the third person can be their imagination.

Christ can also be a hallucination in the form of death.
