And indeed there will be time 
to wonder, “do i dare? ” and, “do i dare? ” 
time to turn back and descend the stair, 
with a bald spot in the middle of my hair  — 
(they will say: “how his hair is growing thin! ”) 
my morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, 
my necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin  — 
(they will say: “but how his arms and legs are thin! ”)

in a minute there is time 
for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

—“the love song of j. alfred prufrock,”
