By the way ... I did have to look it up to be sure but that's a T.S. Elliott line. Nice choice!
You get a from teacher! But I'm gonna have to dock a couple points for the extra 't.'
One of my favorite poems by him. I was fortunate to not encounter it until I'd reached an age where I understood exactly what he was on about.
"Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question ..."
