Eliot Tags:SingingThinking Related quotes „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 wavesCombing the white hair of the waves blown backWhen the wind blows the water white and black.We have lingered in the chambers of the seaBy sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brownTill human voices wake us, and we drown.“ — T.S. Eliot „I have left my book,I have left my room,For I heard you singingThrough the gloom.“ — James Joyce „That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,Lest you should think he never could recaptureThe first fine careless rapture!“ — Robert Browning „I have heard the keyTurn in the door once and turn once onlyWe think of the key, each in his prisonThinking of the key, each confirms a prison.“ — T.S. Eliot „Sing, riding's a joy! For me I ride.“ — Robert Browning
