What did T.S. Eliot mean when he said that April is the cruelest month?

APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering         
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.

by T.S.Eliot, The Wasteland

  1. Because April promises beautiful, sunny days, but only delivers a few of them, it's pretty much a mix of Winter and Summer, but truly neither of them, so it's kind of like a limbo.
