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             5
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding     
A little life with dried tubers.     
Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee     
With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,     
And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten,      10
And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.     
Bin gar keine Russin, stamm' aus Litauen, echt deutsch.     
And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,     
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,     
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,      15
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.     
In the mountains, there you feel free.     
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.     

What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow     
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,      20
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only     
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,     
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,     
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only     
There is shadow under this red rock,      25
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),     
And 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.      30
                Frisch weht der Wind     
                Der Heimat zu.     
                Mein Irisch Kind,     
                Wo weilest du?     
'You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;      35
'They called me the hyacinth girl.'     
—Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,     
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not     
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither     
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,      40
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.     
Od' und leer das Meer.     

Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante,     
Had a bad cold, nevertheless     
Is known to be the wisest woman in Europe,      45
With a wicked pack of cards. Here, said she,     
Is your card, the drowned Phoenician Sailor,     
(Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!)     
Here is Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks,     
The lady of situations.      50
Here is the man with three staves, and here the Wheel,     
And here is the one-eyed merchant, and this card,     
Which is blank, is something he carries on his back,     
Which I am forbidden to see. I do not find     
The Hanged Man. Fear death by water.      55
I see crowds of people, walking round in a ring.     
Thank you. If you see dear Mrs. Equitone,     
Tell her I bring the horoscope myself:     
One must be so careful these days.     

Unreal City,      60
Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,     
A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,     
I had not thought death had undone so many.     
Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled,     
And each man fixed his eyes before his feet.      65
Flowed up the hill and down King William Street,     
To where Saint Mary Woolnoth kept the hours     
With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine.     
There I saw one I knew, and stopped him, crying 'Stetson!     
'You who were with me in the ships at Mylae!      70
'That corpse you planted last year in your garden,     
'Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?     
'Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?     
'Oh keep the Dog far hence, that's friend to men,     
'Or with his nails he'll dig it up again!      75
'You! hypocrite lecteur!—mon semblable,—mon frère!'     

II. A GAME OF CHESS


THE Chair she sat in, like a burnished throne,     
Glowed on the marble, where the glass     
Held up by standards wrought with fruited vines     
From which a golden Cupidon peeped out      80
(Another hid his eyes behind his wing)     
Doubled the flames of sevenbranched candelabra     
Reflecting light upon the table as     
The glitter of her jewels rose to meet it,     
From satin cases poured in rich profusion;      85
In vials of ivory and coloured glass     
Unstoppered, lurked her strange synthetic perfumes,     
Unguent, powdered, or liquid—troubled, confused     
And drowned the sense in odours; stirred by the air     
That freshened from the window, these ascended      90
In fattening the prolonged candle-flames,     
Flung their smoke into the laquearia,     
Stirring the pattern on the coffered ceiling.     
Huge sea-wood fed with copper     
Burned green and orange, framed by the coloured stone,      95
In which sad light a carvèd dolphin swam.     
Above the antique mantel was displayed     
As though a window gave upon the sylvan scene     
The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king     
So rudely forced; yet there the nightingale     100
Filled all the desert with inviolable voice     
And still she cried, and still the world pursues,     
'Jug Jug' to dirty ears.     
And other withered stumps of time     
Were told upon the walls; staring forms     105
Leaned out, leaning, hushing the room enclosed.     
Footsteps shuffled on the stair.     
Under the firelight, under the brush, her hair     
Spread out in fiery points     
Glowed into words, then would be savagely still.     110

'My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me.     
'Speak to me. Why do you never speak? Speak.     
'What are you thinking of? What thinking? What?     
'I never know what you are thinking. Think.'     

I think we are in rats' alley     115
Where the dead men lost their bones.     

'What is that noise?'     
                      The wind under the door.     
'What is that noise now? What is the wind doing?'     
                      Nothing again nothing.     120
                                              'Do     
'You know nothing? Do you see nothing? Do you remember     
'Nothing?'     
  I remember     
Those are pearls that were his eyes.     125
'Are you alive, or not? Is there nothing in your head?'     
                                                         But     
O O O O that Shakespeherian Rag—     
It's so elegant     
So intelligent     130
'What shall I do now? What shall I do?'     
'I shall rush out as I am, and walk the street     
'With my hair down, so. What shall we do to-morrow?     
'What shall we ever do?'     
                          The hot water at ten.     135
And if it rains, a closed car at four.     
And we shall play a game of chess,     
Pressing lidless eyes and waiting for a knock upon the door.     

When Lil's husband got demobbed, I said—     
I didn't mince my words, I said to her myself,     140
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME     
Now Albert's coming back, make yourself a bit smart.     
He'll want to know what you done with that money he gave you     
To get yourself some teeth. He did, I was there.     
You have them all out, Lil, and get a nice set,     145
He said, I swear, I can't bear to look at you.     
And no more can't I, I said, and think of poor Albert,     
He's been in the army four years, he wants a good time,     
And if you don't give it him, there's others will, I said.     
Oh is there, she said. Something o' that, I said.     150
Then I'll know who to thank, she said, and give me a straight look.     
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME     
If you don't like it you can get on with it, I said.     
Others can pick and choose if you can't.     
But if Albert makes off, it won't be for lack of telling.     155
You ought to be ashamed, I said, to look so antique.     
(And her only thirty-one.)     
I can't help it, she said, pulling a long face,     
It's them pills I took, to bring it off, she said.     
(She's had five already, and nearly died of young George.)     160
The chemist said it would be alright, but I've never been the same.     
You are a proper fool, I said.     
Well, if Albert won't leave you alone, there it is, I said,     
What you get married for if you don't want children?     
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME     165
Well, that Sunday Albert was home, they had a hot gammon,     
And they asked me in to dinner, to get the beauty of it hot—     
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME     
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME     
Goonight Bill. Goonight Lou. Goonight May. Goonight.     170
Ta ta. Goonight. Goonight.     
Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, good night.     

III. THE FIRE SERMON


THE river's tent is broken: the last fingers of leaf     
Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind     
Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.     175
Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.     
The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,     
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends     
Or other testimony of summer nights. The nymphs are departed.     
And their friends, the loitering heirs of city directors;     180
Departed, have left no addresses.     
By the waters of Leman I sat down and wept...     
Sweet Thames, run softly till I end my song,     
Sweet Thames, run softly, for I speak not loud or long.     
But at my back in a cold blast I hear     185
The rattle of the bones, and chuckle spread from ear to ear.     

A rat crept softly through the vegetation     
Dragging its slimy belly on the bank     
While I was fishing in the dull canal     
On a winter evening round behind the gashouse     190
Musing upon the king my brother's wreck     
And on the king my father's death before him.     
White bodies naked on the low damp ground     
And bones cast in a little low dry garret,     
Rattled by the rat's foot only, year to year.     195
But at my back from time to time I hear     
The sound of horns and motors, which shall bring     
Sweeney to Mrs. Porter in the spring.     
O the moon shone bright on Mrs. Porter     
And on her daughter     200
They wash their feet in soda water     
Et, O ces voix d'enfants, chantant dans la coupole!     

Twit twit twit     
Jug jug jug jug jug jug     
So rudely forc'd.     205
Tereu     

Unreal City     
Under the brown fog of a winter noon     
Mr. Eugenides, the Smyrna merchant     
Unshaven, with a pocket full of currants     210
C.i.f. London: documents at sight,     
Asked me in demotic French     
To luncheon at the Cannon Street Hotel     
Followed by a weekend at the Metropole.     

At the violet hour, when the eyes and back     215
Turn upward from the desk, when the human engine waits     
Like a taxi throbbing waiting,     
I Tiresias, though blind, throbbing between two lives,     
Old man with wrinkled female breasts, can see     
At the violet hour, the evening hour that strives     220
Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea,     
The typist home at teatime, clears her breakfast, lights     
Her stove, and lays out food in tins.     
Out of the window perilously spread     
Her drying combinations touched by the sun's last rays,     225
On the divan are piled (at night her bed)     
Stockings, slippers, camisoles, and stays.     
I Tiresias, old man with wrinkled dugs     
Perceived the scene, and foretold the rest—     
I too awaited the expected guest.     230
He, the young man carbuncular, arrives,     
A small house agent's clerk, with one bold stare,     
One of the low on whom assurance sits     
As a silk hat on a Bradford millionaire.     
The time is now propitious, as he guesses,     235
The meal is ended, she is bored and tired,     
Endeavours to engage her in caresses     
Which still are unreproved, if undesired.     
Flushed and decided, he assaults at once;     
Exploring hands encounter no defence;     240
His vanity requires no response,     
And makes a welcome of indifference.     
(And I Tiresias have foresuffered all     
Enacted on this same divan or bed;     
I who have sat by Thebes below the wall     245
And walked among the lowest of the dead.)     
Bestows on final patronising kiss,     
And gropes his way, finding the stairs unlit...     

She turns and looks a moment in the glass,     
Hardly aware of her departed lover;     250
Her brain allows one half-formed thought to pass:     
'Well now that's done: and I'm glad it's over.'     
When lovely woman stoops to folly and     
Paces about her room again, alone,     
She smoothes her hair with automatic hand,     255
And puts a record on the gramophone.     

'This music crept by me upon the waters'     
And along the Strand, up Queen Victoria Street.     
O City city, I can sometimes hear     
Beside a public bar in Lower Thames Street,     260
The pleasant whining of a mandoline     
And a clatter and a chatter from within     
Where fishmen lounge at noon: where the walls     
Of Magnus Martyr hold     
Inexplicable splendour of Ionian white and gold.     265

      The river sweats     
      Oil and tar     
      The barges drift     
      With the turning tide     
      Red sails     270
      Wide     
      To leeward, swing on the heavy spar.     
      The barges wash     
      Drifting logs     
      Down Greenwich reach     275
      Past the Isle of Dogs.     
            Weialala leia     
            Wallala leialala     

      Elizabeth and Leicester     
      Beating oars     280
      The stern was formed     
      A gilded shell     
      Red and gold     
      The brisk swell     
      Rippled both shores     285
      Southwest wind     
      Carried down stream     
      The peal of bells     
      White towers     
            Weialala leia     290
            Wallala leialala     

'Trams and dusty trees.     
Highbury bore me. Richmond and Kew     
Undid me. By Richmond I raised my knees     
Supine on the floor of a narrow canoe.'     295
'My feet are at Moorgate, and my heart     
Under my feet. After the event     
He wept. He promised "a new start".     
I made no comment. What should I resent?'     
'On Margate Sands.     300
I can connect     
Nothing with nothing.     
The broken fingernails of dirty hands.     
My people humble people who expect     
Nothing.'     305
      la la     

To Carthage then I came     

Burning burning burning burning     
O Lord Thou pluckest me out     
O Lord Thou pluckest     310

burning     

IV. DEATH BY WATER


PHLEBAS the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,     
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep seas swell     
And the profit and loss.     
                          A current under sea     315
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell     
He passed the stages of his age and youth     
Entering the whirlpool.     
                          Gentile or Jew     
O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,     320
Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.     

V. WHAT THE THUNDER SAID


AFTER the torchlight red on sweaty faces     
After the frosty silence in the gardens     
After the agony in stony places     
The shouting and the crying     325
Prison and place and reverberation     
Of thunder of spring over distant mountains     
He who was living is now dead     
We who were living are now dying     
With a little patience     330

Here is no water but only rock     
Rock and no water and the sandy road     
The road winding above among the mountains     
Which are mountains of rock without water     
If there were water we should stop and drink     335
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think     
Sweat is dry and feet are in the sand     
If there were only water amongst the rock     
Dead mountain mouth of carious teeth that cannot spit     
Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit     340
There is not even silence in the mountains     
But dry sterile thunder without rain     
There is not even solitude in the mountains     
But red sullen faces sneer and snarl     
From doors of mudcracked houses
                                 If there were water     345
  And no rock     
  If there were rock     
  And also water     
  And water     
  A spring     350
  A pool among the rock     
  If there were the sound of water only     
  Not the cicada     
  And dry grass singing     
  But sound of water over a rock     355
  Where the hermit-thrush sings in the pine trees     
  Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop     
  But there is no water     

Who is the third who walks always beside you?     
When I count, there are only you and I together     360
But when I look ahead up the white road     
There is always another one walking beside you     
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded     
I do not know whether a man or a woman     
—But who is that on the other side of you?     365

What is that sound high in the air     
Murmur of maternal lamentation     
Who are those hooded hordes swarming     
Over endless plains, stumbling in cracked earth     
Ringed by the flat horizon only     370
What is the city over the mountains     
Cracks and reforms and bursts in the violet air     
Falling towers     
Jerusalem Athens Alexandria     
Vienna London     375
Unreal     

A woman drew her long black hair out tight     
And fiddled whisper music on those strings     
And bats with baby faces in the violet light     
Whistled, and beat their wings     380
And crawled head downward down a blackened wall     
And upside down in air were towers     
Tolling reminiscent bells, that kept the hours     
And voices singing out of empty cisterns and exhausted wells.     

In this decayed hole among the mountains     385
In the faint moonlight, the grass is singing     
Over the tumbled graves, about the chapel     
There is the empty chapel, only the wind's home.     
It has no windows, and the door swings,     
Dry bones can harm no one.     390
Only a cock stood on the rooftree     
Co co rico co co rico     
In a flash of lightning. Then a damp gust     
Bringing rain     

Ganga was sunken, and the limp leaves     395
Waited for rain, while the black clouds     
Gathered far distant, over Himavant.     
The jungle crouched, humped in silence.     
Then spoke the thunder     
D A     400
Datta: what have we given?     
My friend, blood shaking my heart     
The awful daring of a moment's surrender     
Which an age of prudence can never retract     
By this, and this only, we have existed     405
Which is not to be found in our obituaries     
Or in memories draped by the beneficent spider     
Or under seals broken by the lean solicitor     
In our empty rooms     
D A     410
Dayadhvam: I have heard the key     
Turn in the door once and turn once only     
We think of the key, each in his prison     
Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison     
Only at nightfall, aetherial rumours     415
Revive for a moment a broken Coriolanus     
D A     
Damyata: The boat responded     
Gaily, to the hand expert with sail and oar     
The sea was calm, your heart would have responded     420
Gaily, when invited, beating obedient     
To controlling hands     

                      I sat upon the shore     
Fishing, with the arid plain behind me     
Shall I at least set my lands in order?     425

London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down     

Poi s'ascose nel foco che gli affina     
Quando fiam ceu chelidon—O swallow swallow     
Le Prince d'Aquitaine à la tour abolie     
These fragments I have shored against my ruins     430
Why then Ile fit you. Hieronymo's mad againe.     
Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata.     

            Shantih shantih shantih
and go...

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             5
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding     
A little life with dried tubers.     
Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee     
With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,     
And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten,      10
And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.     
Bin gar keine Russin, stamm' aus Litauen, echt deutsch.     
And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,     
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,     
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,      15
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.     
In the mountains, there you feel free.     
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.     

What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow     
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,      20
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only     
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,     
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,     
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only     
There is shadow under this red rock,      25
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),     
And 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.      30
                Frisch weht der Wind     
                Der Heimat zu.     
                Mein Irisch Kind,     
                Wo weilest du?     
'You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;      35
'They called me the hyacinth girl.'     
—Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,     
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not     
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither     
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,      40
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.     
Od' und leer das Meer.     

Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante,     
Had a bad cold, nevertheless     
Is known to be the wisest woman in Europe,      45
With a wicked pack of cards. Here, said she,     
Is your card, the drowned Phoenician Sailor,     
(Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!)     
Here is Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks,     
The lady of situations.      50
Here is the man with three staves, and here the Wheel,     
And here is the one-eyed merchant, and this card,     
Which is blank, is something he carries on his back,     
Which I am forbidden to see. I do not find     
The Hanged Man. Fear death by water.      55
I see crowds of people, walking round in a ring.     
Thank you. If you see dear Mrs. Equitone,     
Tell her I bring the horoscope myself:     
One must be so careful these days.     

Unreal City,      60
Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,     
A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,     
I had not thought death had undone so many.     
Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled,     
And each man fixed his eyes before his feet.      65
Flowed up the hill and down King William Street,     
To where Saint Mary Woolnoth kept the hours     
With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine.     
There I saw one I knew, and stopped him, crying 'Stetson!     
'You who were with me in the ships at Mylae!      70
'That corpse you planted last year in your garden,     
'Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?     
'Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?     
'Oh keep the Dog far hence, that's friend to men,     
'Or with his nails he'll dig it up again!      75
'You! hypocrite lecteur!—mon semblable,—mon frère!'     

II. A GAME OF CHESS


THE Chair she sat in, like a burnished throne,     
Glowed on the marble, where the glass     
Held up by standards wrought with fruited vines     
From which a golden Cupidon peeped out      80
(Another hid his eyes behind his wing)     
Doubled the flames of sevenbranched candelabra     
Reflecting light upon the table as     
The glitter of her jewels rose to meet it,     
From satin cases poured in rich profusion;      85
In vials of ivory and coloured glass     
Unstoppered, lurked her strange synthetic perfumes,     
Unguent, powdered, or liquid—troubled, confused     
And drowned the sense in odours; stirred by the air     
That freshened from the window, these ascended      90
In fattening the prolonged candle-flames,     
Flung their smoke into the laquearia,     
Stirring the pattern on the coffered ceiling.     
Huge sea-wood fed with copper     
Burned green and orange, framed by the coloured stone,      95
In which sad light a carvèd dolphin swam.     
Above the antique mantel was displayed     
As though a window gave upon the sylvan scene     
The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king     
So rudely forced; yet there the nightingale     100
Filled all the desert with inviolable voice     
And still she cried, and still the world pursues,     
'Jug Jug' to dirty ears.     
And other withered stumps of time     
Were told upon the walls; staring forms     105
Leaned out, leaning, hushing the room enclosed.     
Footsteps shuffled on the stair.     
Under the firelight, under the brush, her hair     
Spread out in fiery points     
Glowed into words, then would be savagely still.     110

'My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me.     
'Speak to me. Why do you never speak? Speak.     
'What are you thinking of? What thinking? What?     
'I never know what you are thinking. Think.'     

I think we are in rats' alley     115
Where the dead men lost their bones.     

'What is that noise?'     
                      The wind under the door.     
'What is that noise now? What is the wind doing?'     
                      Nothing again nothing.     120
                                              'Do     
'You know nothing? Do you see nothing? Do you remember     
'Nothing?'     
  I remember     
Those are pearls that were his eyes.     125
'Are you alive, or not? Is there nothing in your head?'     
                                                         But     
O O O O that Shakespeherian Rag—     
It's so elegant     
So intelligent     130
'What shall I do now? What shall I do?'     
'I shall rush out as I am, and walk the street     
'With my hair down, so. What shall we do to-morrow?     
'What shall we ever do?'     
                          The hot water at ten.     135
And if it rains, a closed car at four.     
And we shall play a game of chess,     
Pressing lidless eyes and waiting for a knock upon the door.     

When Lil's husband got demobbed, I said—     
I didn't mince my words, I said to her myself,     140
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME     
Now Albert's coming back, make yourself a bit smart.     
He'll want to know what you done with that money he gave you     
To get yourself some teeth. He did, I was there.     
You have them all out, Lil, and get a nice set,     145
He said, I swear, I can't bear to look at you.     
And no more can't I, I said, and think of poor Albert,     
He's been in the army four years, he wants a good time,     
And if you don't give it him, there's others will, I said.     
Oh is there, she said. Something o' that, I said.     150
Then I'll know who to thank, she said, and give me a straight look.     
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME     
If you don't like it you can get on with it, I said.     
Others can pick and choose if you can't.     
But if Albert makes off, it won't be for lack of telling.     155
You ought to be ashamed, I said, to look so antique.     
(And her only thirty-one.)     
I can't help it, she said, pulling a long face,     
It's them pills I took, to bring it off, she said.     
(She's had five already, and nearly died of young George.)     160
The chemist said it would be alright, but I've never been the same.     
You are a proper fool, I said.     
Well, if Albert won't leave you alone, there it is, I said,     
What you get married for if you don't want children?     
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME     165
Well, that Sunday Albert was home, they had a hot gammon,     
And they asked me in to dinner, to get the beauty of it hot—     
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME     
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME     
Goonight Bill. Goonight Lou. Goonight May. Goonight.     170
Ta ta. Goonight. Goonight.     
Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, good night.     

III. THE FIRE SERMON


THE river's tent is broken: the last fingers of leaf     
Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind     
Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.     175
Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.     
The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,     
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends     
Or other testimony of summer nights. The nymphs are departed.     
And their friends, the loitering heirs of city directors;     180
Departed, have left no addresses.     
By the waters of Leman I sat down and wept...     
Sweet Thames, run softly till I end my song,     
Sweet Thames, run softly, for I speak not loud or long.     
But at my back in a cold blast I hear     185
The rattle of the bones, and chuckle spread from ear to ear.     

A rat crept softly through the vegetation     
Dragging its slimy belly on the bank     
While I was fishing in the dull canal     
On a winter evening round behind the gashouse     190
Musing upon the king my brother's wreck     
And on the king my father's death before him.     
White bodies naked on the low damp ground     
And bones cast in a little low dry garret,     
Rattled by the rat's foot only, year to year.     195
But at my back from time to time I hear     
The sound of horns and motors, which shall bring     
Sweeney to Mrs. Porter in the spring.     
O the moon shone bright on Mrs. Porter     
And on her daughter     200
They wash their feet in soda water     
Et, O ces voix d'enfants, chantant dans la coupole!     

Twit twit twit     
Jug jug jug jug jug jug     
So rudely forc'd.     205
Tereu     

Unreal City     
Under the brown fog of a winter noon     
Mr. Eugenides, the Smyrna merchant     
Unshaven, with a pocket full of currants     210
C.i.f. London: documents at sight,     
Asked me in demotic French     
To luncheon at the Cannon Street Hotel     
Followed by a weekend at the Metropole.     

At the violet hour, when the eyes and back     215
Turn upward from the desk, when the human engine waits     
Like a taxi throbbing waiting,     
I Tiresias, though blind, throbbing between two lives,     
Old man with wrinkled female breasts, can see     
At the violet hour, the evening hour that strives     220
Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea,     
The typist home at teatime, clears her breakfast, lights     
Her stove, and lays out food in tins.     
Out of the window perilously spread     
Her drying combinations touched by the sun's last rays,     225
On the divan are piled (at night her bed)     
Stockings, slippers, camisoles, and stays.     
I Tiresias, old man with wrinkled dugs     
Perceived the scene, and foretold the rest—     
I too awaited the expected guest.     230
He, the young man carbuncular, arrives,     
A small house agent's clerk, with one bold stare,     
One of the low on whom assurance sits     
As a silk hat on a Bradford millionaire.     
The time is now propitious, as he guesses,     235
The meal is ended, she is bored and tired,     
Endeavours to engage her in caresses     
Which still are unreproved, if undesired.     
Flushed and decided, he assaults at once;     
Exploring hands encounter no defence;     240
His vanity requires no response,     
And makes a welcome of indifference.     
(And I Tiresias have foresuffered all     
Enacted on this same divan or bed;     
I who have sat by Thebes below the wall     245
And walked among the lowest of the dead.)     
Bestows on final patronising kiss,     
And gropes his way, finding the stairs unlit...     

She turns and looks a moment in the glass,     
Hardly aware of her departed lover;     250
Her brain allows one half-formed thought to pass:     
'Well now that's done: and I'm glad it's over.'     
When lovely woman stoops to folly and     
Paces about her room again, alone,     
She smoothes her hair with automatic hand,     255
And puts a record on the gramophone.     

'This music crept by me upon the waters'     
And along the Strand, up Queen Victoria Street.     
O City city, I can sometimes hear     
Beside a public bar in Lower Thames Street,     260
The pleasant whining of a mandoline     
And a clatter and a chatter from within     
Where fishmen lounge at noon: where the walls     
Of Magnus Martyr hold     
Inexplicable splendour of Ionian white and gold.     265

      The river sweats     
      Oil and tar     
      The barges drift     
      With the turning tide     
      Red sails     270
      Wide     
      To leeward, swing on the heavy spar.     
      The barges wash     
      Drifting logs     
      Down Greenwich reach     275
      Past the Isle of Dogs.     
            Weialala leia     
            Wallala leialala     

      Elizabeth and Leicester     
      Beating oars     280
      The stern was formed     
      A gilded shell     
      Red and gold     
      The brisk swell     
      Rippled both shores     285
      Southwest wind     
      Carried down stream     
      The peal of bells     
      White towers     
            Weialala leia     290
            Wallala leialala     

'Trams and dusty trees.     
Highbury bore me. Richmond and Kew     
Undid me. By Richmond I raised my knees     
Supine on the floor of a narrow canoe.'     295
'My feet are at Moorgate, and my heart     
Under my feet. After the event     
He wept. He promised "a new start".     
I made no comment. What should I resent?'     
'On Margate Sands.     300
I can connect     
Nothing with nothing.     
The broken fingernails of dirty hands.     
My people humble people who expect     
Nothing.'     305
      la la     

To Carthage then I came     

Burning burning burning burning     
O Lord Thou pluckest me out     
O Lord Thou pluckest     310

burning     

IV. DEATH BY WATER


PHLEBAS the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,     
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep seas swell     
And the profit and loss.     
                          A current under sea     315
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell     
He passed the stages of his age and youth     
Entering the whirlpool.     
                          Gentile or Jew     
O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,     320
Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.     

V. WHAT THE THUNDER SAID


AFTER the torchlight red on sweaty faces     
After the frosty silence in the gardens     
After the agony in stony places     
The shouting and the crying     325
Prison and place and reverberation     
Of thunder of spring over distant mountains     
He who was living is now dead     
We who were living are now dying     
With a little patience     330

Here is no water but only rock     
Rock and no water and the sandy road     
The road winding above among the mountains     
Which are mountains of rock without water     
If there were water we should stop and drink     335
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think     
Sweat is dry and feet are in the sand     
If there were only water amongst the rock     
Dead mountain mouth of carious teeth that cannot spit     
Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit     340
There is not even silence in the mountains     
But dry sterile thunder without rain     
There is not even solitude in the mountains     
But red sullen faces sneer and snarl     
From doors of mudcracked houses
                                 If there were water     345
  And no rock     
  If there were rock     
  And also water     
  And water     
  A spring     350
  A pool among the rock     
  If there were the sound of water only     
  Not the cicada     
  And dry grass singing     
  But sound of water over a rock     355
  Where the hermit-thrush sings in the pine trees     
  Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop     
  But there is no water     

Who is the third who walks always beside you?     
When I count, there are only you and I together     360
But when I look ahead up the white road     
There is always another one walking beside you     
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded     
I do not know whether a man or a woman     
—But who is that on the other side of you?     365

What is that sound high in the air     
Murmur of maternal lamentation     
Who are those hooded hordes swarming     
Over endless plains, stumbling in cracked earth     
Ringed by the flat horizon only     370
What is the city over the mountains     
Cracks and reforms and bursts in the violet air     
Falling towers     
Jerusalem Athens Alexandria     
Vienna London     375
Unreal     

A woman drew her long black hair out tight     
And fiddled whisper music on those strings     
And bats with baby faces in the violet light     
Whistled, and beat their wings     380
And crawled head downward down a blackened wall     
And upside down in air were towers     
Tolling reminiscent bells, that kept the hours     
And voices singing out of empty cisterns and exhausted wells.     

In this decayed hole among the mountains     385
In the faint moonlight, the grass is singing     
Over the tumbled graves, about the chapel     
There is the empty chapel, only the wind's home.     
It has no windows, and the door swings,     
Dry bones can harm no one.     390
Only a cock stood on the rooftree     
Co co rico co co rico     
In a flash of lightning. Then a damp gust     
Bringing rain     

Ganga was sunken, and the limp leaves     395
Waited for rain, while the black clouds     
Gathered far distant, over Himavant.     
The jungle crouched, humped in silence.     
Then spoke the thunder     
D A     400
Datta: what have we given?     
My friend, blood shaking my heart     
The awful daring of a moment's surrender     
Which an age of prudence can never retract     
By this, and this only, we have existed     405
Which is not to be found in our obituaries     
Or in memories draped by the beneficent spider     
Or under seals broken by the lean solicitor     
In our empty rooms     
D A     410
Dayadhvam: I have heard the key     
Turn in the door once and turn once only     
We think of the key, each in his prison     
Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison     
Only at nightfall, aetherial rumours     415
Revive for a moment a broken Coriolanus     
D A     
Damyata: The boat responded     
Gaily, to the hand expert with sail and oar     
The sea was calm, your heart would have responded     420
Gaily, when invited, beating obedient     
To controlling hands     

                      I sat upon the shore     
Fishing, with the arid plain behind me     
Shall I at least set my lands in order?     425

London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down     

Poi s'ascose nel foco che gli affina     
Quando fiam ceu chelidon—O swallow swallow     
Le Prince d'Aquitaine à la tour abolie     
These fragments I have shored against my ruins     430
Why then Ile fit you. Hieronymo's mad againe.     
Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata.     

            Shantih shantih shantih

ah...it's just that when there are a lot of deleted threads, we mods can still see them and they clutter the sections with red.  Occasionally(especially when there are several...) we permanently delete those threads to clean it up a little.  Since the March chats seems to have been inadvertently taken out with the trash...those of us that karma whore in ee chats have blanks all over now...
