I. THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD 1 APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding 2 Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing 3 Memory and desire, stirring 4 Dull roots with spring rain. 5 Winter kept us warm, covering 6 Earth in forgetful snow, feeding 7 A little life with dried tubers. 8 Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee 9 With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade, 10 And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten, 11 And drank coffee, and talked for an hour. 12 Bin gar keine Russin, stamm' aus Litauen, echt deutsch. 13 And when we were children, staying at the archduke's, 14 My cousin's, he took me out on a sled, 15 And I was frightened. He said, Marie, 16 Marie, hold on tight. And down we went. 17 In the mountains, there you feel free. 18 I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

19 What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow 20 Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man, 21 You cannot say, or guess, for you know only 22 A heap of broken images, where the sun beats, 23 And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief, 24 And the dry stone no sound of water. Only 25 There is shadow under this red rock, 26 (Come in under the shadow of this red rock, 27 And I will show you something different from either 28 Your shadow at morning striding behind you 29 Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you; 30 I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

43 Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante, 44 Had a bad cold, nevertheless 45 Is known to be the wisest woman in Europe, 46 With a wicked pack of cards. Here, said she, 47 Is your card, the drowned Phoenician Sailor, 48 (Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!) 49 Here is Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks, 50 The lady of situations. 51 Here is the man with three staves, and here the Wheel, 52 And here is the one-eyed merchant, and this card, 53 Which is blank, is something he carries on his back, 54 Which I am forbidden to see. I do not find 55 The Hanged Man. Fear death by water. 56 I see crowds of people, walking round in a ring. 57 Thank you. If you see dear Mrs. Equitone, 58 Tell her I bring the horoscope myself: 59 One must be so careful these days.

60 Unreal City, 61 Under the brown fog of a winter dawn, 62 A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many, 63 I had not thought death had undone so many. 64 Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled, 65 And each man fixed his eyes before his feet. 66 Flowed up the hill and down King William Street, 67 To where Saint Mary Woolnoth kept the hours 68 With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine. 69 There I saw one I knew, and stopped him, crying: "Stetson! 70 "You who were with me in the ships at Mylae! 71 "That corpse you planted last year in your garden, 72 "Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year? 73 "Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed? 74 "Oh keep the Dog far hence, that's friend to men, 75 "Or with his nails he'll dig it up again! 76 "You! hypocrite lecteur!-- mon semblable, -- mon frère!"

II. A GAME OF CHESS 77 The Chair she sat in, like a burnished throne, 78 Glowed on the marble, where the glass 79 Held up by standards wrought with fruited vines 80 From which a golden Cupidon peeped out 81 (Another hid his eyes behind his wing) 82 Doubled the flames of sevenbranched candelabra 83 Reflecting light upon the table as 84 The glitter of her jewels rose to meet it, 85 From satin cases poured in rich profusion; 86 In vials of ivory and coloured glass 87 Unstoppered, lurked her strange synthetic perfumes, 88 Unguent, powdered, or liquid -- troubled, confused 89 And drowned the sense in odours; stirred by the air 90 That freshened from the window, these ascended 91 In fattening the prolonged candle-flames, 92 Flung their smoke into the laquearia, 93 Stirring the pattern on the coffered ceiling. 94 Huge sea-wood fed with copper 95 Burned green and orange, framed by the coloured stone, 96 In which sad light a carvèd dolphin swam. 97 Above the antique mantel was displayed 98 As though a window gave upon the sylvan scene 99 The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king 100 So rudely forced; yet there the nightingale 101 Filled all the desert with inviolable voice 102 And still she cried, and still the world pursues, 103 "Jug Jug" to dirty ears. 104 And other withered stumps of time 105 Were told upon the walls; staring forms 106 Leaned out, leaning, hushing the room enclosed. 107 Footsteps shuffled on the stair. 108 Under the firelight, under the brush, her hair 109 Spread out in fiery points 110 Glowed into words, then would be savagely still.

111 "My nerves are bad tonight. Yes, bad. Stay with me. 112 "Speak to me. Why do you never speak. Speak. 113 "What are you thinking of? What thinking? What? 114 "I never know what you are thinking. Think." 115 I think we are in rats' alley 116 Where the dead men lost their bones. 117 "What is that noise?" 118 The wind under the door. 119 "What is that noise now? What is the wind doing?" 120 Nothing again nothing. 121 "Do 122 "You know nothing? Do you see nothing? Do you remember 123 "Nothing?" 124 I remember 125 Those are pearls that were his eyes. 126 "Are you alive, or not? Is there nothing in your head?" 127 But 128 O O O O that Shakespeherian Rag-- 129 It's so elegant 130 So intelligent 131 "What shall I do now? What shall I do?" 132 "I shall rush out as I am, and walk the street 133 "With my hair down, so. What shall we do tomorrow? 134 "What shall we ever do?" 135 The hot water at ten. 136 And if it rains, a closed car at four. 137 And we shall play a game of chess, 138 Pressing lidless eyes and waiting for a knock upon the door.

139 When Lil's husband got demobbed, I said -- 140 I didn't mince my words, I said to her myself, 141 HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME 142 Now Albert's coming back, make yourself a bit smart. 143 He'll want to know what you done with that money he gave you 144 To get yourself some teeth. He did, I was there. 145 You have them all out, Lil, and get a nice set, 146 He said, I swear, I can't bear to look at you. 147 And no more can't I, I said, and think of poor Albert, 148 He's been in the army four years, he wants a good time, 149 And if you dont give it him, there's others will, I said. 150 Oh is there, she said. Something o' that, I said. 151 Then I'll know who to thank, she said, and give me a straight look. 152 HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME 153 If you dont like it you can get on with it, I said, 154 Others can pick and choose if you can't. 155 But if Albert makes off, it wont be for lack of telling. 156 You ought to be ashamed, I said, to look so antique. 157 (And her only thirty-one.) 158 I can't help it, she said, pulling a long face, 159 It's them pills I took, to bring it off, she said. 160 (She's had five already, and nearly died of young George.) 161 The chemist said it would be alright, but I've never been the same. 162 You are a proper fool, I said. 163 Well, if Albert wont leave you alone, there it is, I said, 164 What you get married for if you dont want children? 165 HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME 166 Well, that Sunday Albert was home, they had a hot gammon, 167 And they asked me in to dinner, to get the beauty of it hot -- 168 HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME 169 HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME 170 Goonight Bill. Goonight Lou. Goonight May. Goonight. 171 Ta ta. Goonight. Goonight. 172 Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, good night.
