T. S. Eliot Quotes

The Lamp Hummed:
'Regard The Moon,
La Lune Ne Garde Aucune Rancune,
She Winks A Feeble Eye,
She Smiles Into Corners.
She Smoothes The Hair Of The Grass.
The Moon Has Lost Her Memory.
A Washed-out Smallpox Cracks Her Face,
Her Hand Twists A Paper Rose,
That Smells Of Dust And Old Cologne,
She Is Alone
With All The Old Nocturnal Smells
That Cross And Cross Across Her Brain.
The Reminiscence Comes
Of Sunless Dry Geraniums
And Dust In Crevices,
Smells Of Chestnuts In The Streets,
And Female Smells In Shuttered Rooms,
And Cigarettes In Corridors
And Cocktail Smells In Bars.
