And your hair wet

from T.S. Eliot – The Waste Land on Rap Genius

The sensual counterpoint to the fiery hair of the second chapter.

Wet hair is analolgous to wet soil: it is a symbol of fertility. Also remember the line where the couple took shelter from the rain.

With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade
And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten,
And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.
