T.S. Eliot 1888-1965

APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering

Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life on tubers

The Wasteland 1922



this concludes the poetical sojourn
