Research of A Handful of Dust

After some research about the book, it is said that the title "A Handful of Dust" is referred to T.S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land [reproduced below]
I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

Waugh actually makes reference to this poem in the first page of the novel when he quotes: "I will show you fear in a handful of dust".

T.S Elliot's poem has shifts between satire and prophecy.

Also it has been later revelaed that Evelyn Waugh wrote an alternate short story called "The Man Who Liked Dickens". In the short story, it is referred to towards the ending of A Handful of Dust. Evelyn Waugh had actually written the story to be about: "I had just written a short story about a man trapped in the jungle, ending his days reading Dickens aloud. The idea came quite naturally from the experience of visiting a lonely settler of that kind and reflecting how easily he could hold me prisoner [...] eventually the thing grew into a study of other sorts of savages at home and the civilized man's helpless plight among them."
