[00:00.49] | The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock |
[00:05.34] | Let us go then, you and I, |
[00:08.61] | When the evening is spread out against the sky |
[00:11.78] | Like a patient etherized upon a table; |
[00:14.67] | Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, |
[00:18.37] | The muttering retreats |
[00:20.28] | Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels |
[00:23.92] | And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: |
[00:27.69] | Streets that follow like a tedious argument |
[00:31.37] | Of insidious intent |
[00:32.78] | To lead you to an overwhelming question ... |
[00:35.72] | Oh, do not ask, “What is it?“ |
[00:38.57] | Let us go and make our visit. |
[00:42.02] | In the room the women come and go |
[00:45.96] | Talking of Michelangelo. |
[00:48.82] | The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes, |
[00:54.42] | The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes, |
[00:58.78] | Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening, |
[01:01.96] | Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains, |
[01:05.85] | Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys, |
[01:09.56] | Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap, |
[01:13.46] | And seeing that it was a soft October night, |
[01:17.23] | Curled once about the house, and fell asleep. |
[01:22.73] | And indeed there will be time |
[01:25.00] | For the yellow smoke that slides along the street, |
[01:28.39] | Rubbing its back upon the window-panes; |
[01:30.29] | There will be time, there will be time |
[01:33.06] | To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; |
[01:36.72] | There will be time to murder and create, |
[01:39.93] | And time for all the works and days of hands |
[01:44.15] | That lift and drop a question on your plate; |
[01:47.00] | Time for you and time for me, |
[01:49.87] | And time yet for a hundred indecisions, |
[01:52.97] | And for a hundred visions and revisions, |
[01:55.42] | Before the taking of a toast and tea. |
[02:00.20] | In the room the women come and go |
[02:04.37] | Talking of Michelangelo. |
[02:07.23] | And indeed there will be time |
[02:10.12] | To wonder, “Do I dare?“ and, “Do I dare?“ |
[02:13.68] | Time to turn back and descend the stair, |
[02:17.44] | With a bald spot in the middle of my hair-- |
[02:19.77] | (They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!“) |
[02:22.75] | My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, |
[02:26.50] | My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin-- |
[02:30.56] | (They will say: “But how his arms and legs are thin!“) |
[02:34.65] | Do I dare |
[02:36.47] | Disturb the universe? |
[02:38.38] | In a minute there is time |
[02:40.09] | For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. |
[02:44.81] | For I have known them all already, known them all: |
[02:49.27] | Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, |
[02:52.80] | I have measured out my life with coffee spoons; |
[02:55.69] | I know the voices dying with a dying fall |
[02:59.13] | Beneath the music from a farther room. |
[03:01.59] | So how should I presume? |
[03:04.06] | And I have known the eyes already, known them all-- |
[03:09.87] | The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase, |
[03:12.62] | And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin, |
[03:16.05] | When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall, |
[03:18.53] | Then how should I begin |
[03:20.28] | To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways? |
[03:24.46] | And how should I presume? |
[03:26.68] | And I have known the arms already, known them all-- |
[03:32.77] | Arms that are braceleted and white and bare |
[03:36.28] | (But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!) |
[03:40.00] | Is it perfume from a dress |
[03:41.46] | That makes me so digress? |
[03:43.22] | Arms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl. |
[03:47.65] | And how should I presume? |
[03:50.00] | And how should I begin? |
[03:53.93] | Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets |
[03:58.93] | And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes |
[04:02.30] | Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows? ... |
[04:07.74] | I should have been a pair of ragged claws |
[04:11.30] | Scuttling across the floors of silent seas. |
[04:15.61] | And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully! |
[04:20.70] | Smoothed by long fingers, |
[04:23.35] | Asleep ... tired ... or it malingers, |
[04:27.17] | Stretched on the floor, here beside you and me. |
[04:30.85] | Should I, after tea and cakes and ices, |
[04:34.82] | Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis? |
[04:38.40] | But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed, |
[04:42.67] | Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter, |
[04:47.50] | I am no prophet--and here's no great matter; |
[04:51.47] | I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, |
[04:55.00] | And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, |
[04:59.90] | And in short, I was afraid. |
[05:04.30] | And would it have been worth it, after all, |
[05:07.75] | After the cups, the marmalade, the tea, |
[05:10.63] | Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me, |
[05:14.91] | Would it have been worth while, |
[05:16.49] | To have bitten off the matter with a smile, |
[05:18.75] | To have squeezed the universe into a ball |
[05:22.16] | To roll it toward some overwhelming question, |
[05:25.29] | To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead, |
[05:29.93] | Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all" |
[05:33.43] | If one, settling a pillow by her head, |
[05:37.56] | Should say: "That is not what I meant at all; |
[05:41.62] | That is not it, at all." |
[05:44.11] | And would it have been worth it, after all, |
[05:47.23] | Would it have been worth while, |
[05:49.56] | After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets, |
[05:53.85] | After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor-- |
[06:00.19] | And this, and so much more?-- |
[06:02.63] | It is impossible to say just what I mean |
[06:05.17] | But as if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen: |
[06:09.73] | Would it have been worth while |
[06:11.69] | If one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl, |
[06:15.56] | And turning toward the window, should say: |
[06:18.56] | "That is not it at all, |
[06:21.42] | That is not what I meant, at all." |
[06:25.26] | No I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be; |
[06:30.75] | Am an attendant lord, one that will do |
[06:33.68] | To swell a progress, start a scene or two, |
[06:37.09] | Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool, |
[06:40.92] | Deferential, glad to be of use, |
[06:44.10] | Politic, cautious, and meticulous; |
[06:46.93] | Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse; |
[06:50.45] | At times, indeed, almost ridiculous-- |
[06:54.23] | Almost, at times, the Fool. |
[06:58.47] | I grow old ... I grow old ... |
[07:01.64] | I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. |
[07:05.44] | Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? |
[07:10.23] | I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach. |
[07:14.43] | I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. |
[07:18.62] | I do not think that they will sing to me. |
[07:22.49] | I have seen them riding seaward on the waves |
[07:26.85] | Combing the white hair of the waves blown back |
[07:30.77] | When the wind blows the water white and black. |
[07:35.62] | We have lingered in the chambers of the sea |
[07:39.44] | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown |
[07:44.52] | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. |
