0 days left. Time’s up.
β€œLet us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question ...
Oh, do not ask, β€œWhat is it?”
Let us go and make our visit.
In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo.”
The first two stanzas of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufroc by T.S Elliot. It’s about a guy getting older and balder as he questions his space and role in life. I’ve definitely gotten older over the duration of this countdown. Sadly not sure about the bald part though.
