Thomas Stearns Eliot: Citáty anglicky

“I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.”

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915)
Zdroj: The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and Other Poems
Kontext: I grow old … I grow old...
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

“I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.”

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915)

“Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.”

“In my end is my beginning.”

“Footfalls echo in the memory
down the passage we did not take
towards the door we never opened
into the rose garden. My words echo
thus, in your mind”

T.S. Eliot kniha Four Quartets

Varianta: Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage we did not take, towards the door we never opened, into the rose garden.

“I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;”

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915)
Zdroj: The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and Other Poems
Kontext: 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.

“This is one moment, / But know that another / Shall pierce you with a sudden painful joy.”

T.S. Eliot Murder in the Cathedral
