Citáty Thomas Stearns Eliot
„There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands,
That lift and drop a question on your plate;
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea.“
— T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915)
„Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
For I have known them all already, known them all: —
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?“
— T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915)
„And I have known the arms already, known them all —
Arms that are braceleted and white and bare
[But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!]
It is perfume from a dress
That makes me so digress?
Arms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl.
And should I then presume?
And how should I begin?“
— T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915)
