I love this
poem
; it's so very
disgusting
, once you
get it
...
And the trees about me,
Let them be
dry and leafless
; let the rocks
Groan with
continual surges
; and behind me
Make all a desolation
. Look, look, wenches!
PAINT me a
cavernous waste
shore
Cast in the unstilled
Cyclades
,
Paint me the bold
anfractuous
rocks
Faced by the
snarled
and yelping
seas
.
Display me
Aeolus
above
Reviewing the
insurgent gales
Which tangle
Ariadne
's hair
And swell with haste the perjured
sails
.
Morning stirs the feet and hands
(
Nausicaa
and
Polypheme
).
Gesture of orang-outang
Rises from the
sheets
in
steam
.
This
withered root
of
knots of hair
Slitted
below and
gashed
with eyes,
This
oval
O cropped out with
teeth
:
The
sickle motion
from the
thighs
Jackknife
s upward at the
knees
Then
straightens out
from heel to hip
Pushing the
framework
of the bed
And
clawing
at the
pillow slip
.
Sweeney addressed
full length
to shave
Broadbottomed
, pink from nape to base,
Knows the
female temperament
And
wipes
the suds around his face.
(The lengthened
shadow
of a man
Is history, said
Emerson
Who had not seen the
silhouette
Of Sweeney
straddled
in the sun.)
Tests the
razor
on his leg
Waiting until the shriek
subsides
.
The
epileptic
on the bed
Curves
backward
, clutching at her sides.
The ladies of the
corridor
Find themselves involved,
disgraced
,
Call witness to their
principles
And
deprecate
the
lack of taste
Observing that
hysteria
Might easily be
misunderstood
;
Mrs. Turner
intimates
It does the house
no sort of good
.
But
Doris
, towelled from the bath,
Enters
padding
on broad feet,
Bringing
sal volatile
And a
glass of brandy
neat.
By
T.S. Eliot
, c. 1920
