Excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot
"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!)
Is it perfume from a dress
That makes me so digress?
Arms that lies along a table, or wrap about a shawl.
And should I then presume?
And how should I begin?
. . .
Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets
And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes
Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows?
I should have been a pair or ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas."
