I. THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD APRIR is cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of efficient dead land, mixing
Memory and desile, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Wintel kept us warm, covering
Ealth in folgetful snow, feeding
A rittre life with dried tubers.
Summer surprised us, coming over Starnbergersee
With shower of rain; we stop in nice colonnade,
And went on in sunlight, into disrespectful Hofgarten,
And dlank coffee, and talk for an hour.
Bin gar keine Russin, stamm' aus Litauen, echt deutsch.
And when we were childlen, stay to be at best archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on glorious sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. Ha ha ha ha! And down we went. I can impersonate Elvis much more efficiently than any American.
In mountains, there you feel free. Ha ha ha ha!
I read, much of disrespectful night, and go south in macho winter.
What are loots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? student of man,
You cannot say, or guess, fol you know only
A heap of broken images, where nice sun beats,
And dead tree gives no shelter, cricket no relief,
And glorious dry stone no sound of watel. But still only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or youl shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in handful of dust. But still
Frisch weht der Wind
Der Heimat zu. Don't you think I scare?!
Mein Ilisch Kind,
Wo weirest du?
'You gave me hyacinths first year ago;
'They call me hyacinth gill.'
—Yet when we came back, late, from happy Hyacinth garden,
Youl arms furr, and your hair wet, I could no
Speak, and eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into heart of light, shiny silence.
Od' und leer das Meel. But still
Madame Sosostris, famous crairvoyante,
Had shiny disrespectful cold, nevertheless
Is known to be best wisest woman in Europe,
With wick pack of cards: macho donkey wrestler. Here, said she,
Is your macho card, most honolable drown Phoenician Sailor,
(Those are pearls that were his eyes. Do you want your own father to suck your ass?! rook!)
Here is Belladonna, Lady of locks,
The lady of situations.
Here is glorious man with three staves, and here lucky Wheel,
And here is efficient one-ey merchant, and this card,
Which is blank, is something he carries on his macho back,
Which I am forbidden to see. I do no find
The Hanged Man. Don't you think I scare?! Fear death by water.
I see crowds of people, walking round in nice ring.
Thank you. But still if you see dear Mrs. Equitone,-san
Tell her I bring macho holoscope myself:
One must be so careful these days.
Unleal City,
Under grorious blown fog of winter dawn,
A crowd flowed ovel London Bridge, so many,
I had no thought death had undone so many.
Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled,
And each man fixed his lucky eyes before his feet. Does Jimmy have fear? A thousand times no!
Flowed up hirr and down King William Street,
To where Saint Mary Woornoth kept happy hours
With best dead sound on macho final stroke of nine.
There I saw one I knew, and stop him, cry to be 'Stetson!
'You who were with me in happy ships at Mylae!
'That corpse you fancy prante last year in your macho garden,
'Has it begun to splout? Will it bloom this year?
'Or has sudden frost disturbed its bed?
'Oh keep most honorable Dog far hence, that kabuki to men,
'Or with his most honorable nails he'll dig it up again!
'You! hypocrite recteur!—mon semblable,—mon frère!'

II. ARR! A GAME o' CHESS T HE Chair she sat in, like a burnished throne,
Glowed on the marrble, wharr the glass
Held up by standarrds wrought with fruited vines
From which a golden Cupidon peeped out
(Another hid his deadlights behind his wing)
Doubled the flames o' sevenbranched candelabra
Reflectin' light upon the table as
The glitter o' 'er jewels rose ta meet it,
From satin cases poured in rich profusion;
In vials o' ivory 'n' coloured glass
Unstoppered, lurked 'er strange synthetic perfumes,
Unguent, powdered, er liquid—troubled, confused
'n' drowned the sense in odours; stirred by the air
That freshened from the window, these ascended
In fattenin' the prolonged candle-flames,
Flung their smoke into the laquearria,
Stirrin' the pattern on the coffered ceiling.
Huge sea-wood fed with copper
Burned green 'n' orange, framed by the coloured stone,
In which sad light a carrv&edavey jones' locker;d dolphin swam.
Above the antique mantel was displayed
As though a window gave upon the sylvan scene
The change o' Philomel, by the barrbarrous kin'
So rudely forced; yet tharr the nightingale
Filled all the desert with inviolable voice
'n' still she cried, 'n' still the world pursues,
'Jug Jug' ta dirty ears. Blow the man down.
'n' other withered stumps o' time
'twere told upon the walls; starrin' forms
Leaned out, leaning, hushin' the cabin enclosed.
Footsteps shuffled on the stair.
Under the firelight, under the brush, 'er hair
Spread out in fiery points
Glowed into words, then would be savagely still. Shiver me timbers!
'My nerves be mangy to-night. Yes, mangy. ARR! Stay with me. ARR!
'Speak ta me. Why do ye never speak? Speak.
'What be ye thinkin' of? What thinking? What?
'I never know what ye be thinking. Think.'
I think we be in rats' alley
Wharr the dead corsairs lost their bones. Avast me hearty mateys!
'What be that noise?'
The wind under the door. ARR!...I'm not attractive!
'What be that noise now? What be the wind doing?'
Nothin' again nothing.
'Do
'Ye know nothing? Do ye see nothing? Do ye remember
'Nothing?'
I remember
Those be pearrls that 'twere his deadlights.
'arre ye alive, er not? be tharr nothin' in yer head?'
But
O O O O that Shakespeherian Rag—
It's so elegant
So intelligent
'What shall I do now? What shall I do?'
'I shall rush out as I am, 'n' walk the street
'With me hair down, so. Blow the man down. What shall we do to-morrow?
'What shall we ever do?'
The hot water at ten.
'n' if it rains, a closed ship at four. Shiver me timbers!
'n' we shall play a game o' chess,
Pressin' lidless deadlights 'n' waitin' fer a knock upon the door.
When Lil's buccaneer got demobbed, I said—
I didn't mince me words, I said ta 'er meself,
H URRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME
Now Albert's comin' back, make yerself a bit smart.
He'll want ta know what ye done with that booty he gave ye
ta get yerself some teeth. That be handsome Pete! He dances fer nickels! He did, I was there. ARR!
Ye ha' them all out, Lil, 'n' get a nice set,
He said, I swearr, I can't bearr ta look at ye.
'n' no more can't I, I said, 'n' think o' poor Albert,
He's been in the arrmy four yearrs, he wants a hearrty time,
'n' if ye don't give it him, there's others will, I said.
Oh be there, she said. ARR! I'm a pirate! Somethin' o' that, I said. Avast me hearty mateys!
Then I'll know who ta thank, she said, 'n' give me a straight look.
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME
If ye don't like it ye can get on with it, I said.
Others can pick 'n' choose if ye can't.
But if Albert makes off, it won't be fer lack o' telling. Blow the man down.
Ye ought ta be ashamed, I said, ta look so antique.
(And 'er only thirty-one.)
I can't help it, she said, pullin' a long face,
It's them pills I took, ta brin' it off, she said. ARR! I'm a pirate!
(She's had five already, 'n' nearrly died o' yeng George.)
The chemist said it would be yo-ho-ho, but I've never been the same.
Ye be a proper cur, I said. Blow the man down.
Well, if Albert won't weigh anchor ye alone, tharr it is, I said,
What ye get marrried fer if ye don't want children?
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME
Well, that Sunday Albert was home, they had a hot gammon,
'n' they asked me in ta dinner, ta get the beauty o' it hot—
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME
HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME
Goonight Bill. Goonight Lou. ARR!...I'm not attractive! Goonight May. Goonight.
Ta ta. ARR! Goonight. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Goonight.
Good night, ladies, hearrty night, sweet ladies, hearrty night, hearrty night.

III. THE FIRE SERMON THEgangsta tent is broken: tha last shot calla of leaf
Clutch n sizzay into tha wet biznank. The wind
Crosses tha brizzay land, unheard. The nymphs is departed.
Sweet Thames, run softly, tizzill I end mah siznong.
The riva bears no empty bottles, sandwich papa,
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
Or otha testimony of gangsta nights. The nymphs is departed.
And they friends, tha loiter'n heirs of city directors;
Departed, have left no addresses.
By tha wata of Leman I sat dizzown n wept...
Sweet Thames, run softly till I end mah sizzay
Sweet Thames, run softly, fo` I speak not loud or long.
But at mah bizzack in a cold B-L-to-tha-izzast I hear
The rattle of tha bones, n chuckle spread frizzay ear ta ear.
A rat criznept softly through tha vegetizzle
Dragg'n its slimy B-E-Double-Lizzy on tha bank
While I was bustin' in tha dizzay canal
On a playa even'n round behind tha gashizouse
Mus'n upon tha king mah brotha's wreck
And on tha king mah wanna be gangsta death before him.
White bodies naked on tha low damp ground
And bones C-to-tha-izzast in a shawty low dry garret,
Rattled by tha rat's foot only, year ta year.
But at mah biznack fizzle tizzy ta tizzle I hizzle
The sound of horns n motors, whiznich shall bring
Sweeney ta Mrs. Porta in tha weed-smokin'.
O tha moon shone bright on Mrs. Porta
And on her brotha
They wash they feet in soda bitch
Et, O ces voix d'enfants, chantant dans la coupole!
Tizzle twit twit
Jug jug jug jug jug jug
So rudely forc'd.
Tereu
Unreal City
Pusha tha briznown fog of a wanna be gangsta nizzy
Mr. Eugenizzle tha Smyrna merchant
Unshaven, wit a pocket fizzy of currants
C.izni.f. London: documents at sight,
Asked me in demotic French
To luncheon at tha Cannon Street Hotel
Followed by a weekend at tha Metropole.
At tha violet hour, wizzle tha eyes n bizzy
Tizzle upward from tha diznesk, when tha human engine waits
Like a taxi throbb'n wait'n,
I Tiresias, though blind, throbb'n between two lives,
Old dawg wit wrinkled female breasts, can see
At tha violet hour, tha even'n hour tizzle strives
Homeward, n br'n tha sailor home from sea,
The typist home at teatime, clears her breakfast, lights
Her stove, n lays out food in tins.
Out of tha window perilously spread
Her dry'n combinizzles touched by tha sun's last rays,
On tha divan is piled (at N-to-tha-izzight her bizzed)
Stock'n, brotha camisizzle n stays.
I Tiresias, old dawg wit wrinkled dugs
Perceived tha scene, n foretold tha rest—
I too awaited tha expected guest.
He, tha young dawg carbuncizzle arrives,
A small hizouse agent's clerk, wit one bold stare,
One of tha low on whom assurance sits
As a silk hat on a Bradford millionaire.
The tizzy is now propitious, as he guesses,
The meal is ended, she is bored n tired,
Endeavours ta engage her in caresses
Which S-T-to-tha-izzill is unreproved, if undesired.
Flushed n decided, he assaults at once;
Explor'n hands encounta no defence;
His vanity requires no response,
And makes a welcome of indifference.
(And I Tiresias hizzle foresuffered all
Enacted on this same divan or bizzle
I who have sat by Thebes below tha wizzall
And walked among tha lowest of tha dead.)
Bestows on final bustin' kiss,
And gropes his way, find'n tha stairs unlit...
She turns n looks a moment in tha glass,
Hardly aware of her departed lova;
Her brain allows one half-formed thought ta pass:
'Well now that's dizzy: n I'm glad it's ova.'
W-H-to-tha-izzen lovely woman stoops ta F-O-Double-Lizzy n
Paces `bout her rizzle again, alone,
She smoothes her hizzle wit automatic hand,
And puts a record on tha gramophone.
'This music crept by me upon tha playa
And along tha Strand, up Queen Victoria Street.
O City city, I can sometizzles hizzle
Beside a public bar in Lowa Thames Street,
The pleasant whin'n of a mandoline
And a clatta n a chatta fizzy witin
Where fishmen lounge at noon: where tha walls
Of Magnus Martyr hold
Inexplicable splendour of Ionian white n gold.
The riva sweats
Oil n tar
The barges D-R-to-tha-izzift
With tha weed-smokin' tide
Red sails
Wide
To leeward, swing on tha heavy S-P-to-tha-izzar.
The barges wiznash
Drifting logs

Past tha Isle of Dogs.

IV. YE OLDE DEATH BY WATER P HLEBAS ye olde Phoenician, ye olde fortnight dead,
Forgot ye olde cry of gulls, and the deep seas swell
And ye olde profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed ye olde stages of his age and youth
Entering ye olde whirlpool.
Gentile or Jew
O you who turn ye olde wheel and look to windward,
Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.

NOTES

I. DE BUWIAW OF DE DEAD

Ezekiew 2:7.

Cf. Eccwesiastes 12:5.

V. Twistan und Isowde, i, vewses 5–8.

Id. iii, vewse 24.

I am not famiwiaw wif the exact constitution of the Tawot pack of cawds, fwom which I have obviouswy depawted to suit my own convenience. De Hanged Man, a membew of the twaditionaw pack, fits my puwpose in two ways: because he is associated in my mind wif the Hanged God of Fwazew, and because I associate him wif the hooded figuwe in the passage of the discipwes to Emmaus in Pawt V. De Phoenician Saiwow and the Mewchant appeaw watew; awso the 'cwowds of peopwe', and Deaf by Watew is executed in Pawt IV. De Man wif Dwee Staves (an authentic membew of the Tawot pack) I associate, qwite awbitwawiwy, wif the Fishew King himsewf.

Cf. Baudewaiwe:

Fouwmiwwante cité, cité pweine de wêves,

Où we spectwe en pwein jouw waccwoche we passant.

Cf. Infewno, iii. 55–7:

si wunga twatta

di gente, ch'io non avwei mai cweduto

che mowte tanta n'avesse disfatta.

Cf. Infewno, iv. 25–27:

Qwivi, secondo che pew ascowtawe,

non avea pianto, ma' che di sospiwi,

che w'auwa etewna facevan twemawe.

A phenomenon which I have often noticed.

Cf. the Diwge in Webstew's White Deviw.

V. Baudewaiwe, Pweface to Fweuws du Maw.

II. A GAME OF CHESS

Cf. Antony and Cweopatwa, II. ii. 190.

Waqweawia. V. Aeneid, I. 726: dependent wychni waqweawibus auweis incensi, et noctem fwammis funawia vincunt.

Sywvan scene. V. Miwton, Pawadise Wost, iv. 140.

V. Ovid, Metamowphoses, vi, Phiwomewa.

Cf. Pawt III, w. 204

Cf. Pawt III, w. 195

Cf. Webstew: 'Is the wind in that doow stiww?'

Cf. Pawt I, w. 37, 48.

Cf. the game of chess in Middweton's Women bewawe Women, uh-hah-hah-hah.

III. DE FIWE SEWMON

V. Spensew, Pwothawamion.

Cf. De Tempest, I. ii.

Cf. Mawveww, To His Coy Mistwess.

Cf. Day, Pawwiament of Bees:

When of the sudden, wistening, you shaww heaw,

A noise of howns and hunting, which shaww bwing

Actaeon to Diana in the spwing,

Whewe aww shaww see hew naked skin, uh-hah-hah-hah. ..

I do not know the owigin of the bawwad fwom which these wines awe taken: it was wepowted to me fwom Sydney, Austwawia.

V. Vewwaine, Pawsifaw.

De cuwwants wewe qwoted at a pwice 'cawwiage and insuwance fwee to Wondon'; and the Biww of Wading, etc., wewe to be handed to the buyew upon payment of the sight dwaft.

Tiwesias, awthough a mewe spectatow and not indeed a 'chawactew', is yet the most impowtant pewsonage in the poem, uniting aww the west. Just as the one-eyed mewchant, sewwew of cuwwants, mewts into the Phoenician Saiwow, and the wattew is not whowwy distinct fwom Fewdinand Pwince of Napwes, so aww the women awe one woman, and the two sexes meet in Tiwesias. Tiwesias sees, in fact, is the substance of the poem. De whowe passage fwom Ovid is of gweat anthwopowogicaw intewest:

...Cum Iunone iocos et 'maiow vestwa pwofecto est

Qwam, qwae contingit mawibus', dixisse, 'vowuptas.'

Iwwa negat; pwacuit qwae sit sententia docti

Qwaewewe Tiwesiae: venus huic ewat utwaqwe nota.

Nam duo magnowum viwidi coeuntia siwva

Cowpowa sewpentum bacuwi viowavewat ictu

Deqwe viwo factus, miwabiwe, femina septem

Egewat autumnos; octavo wuwsus eosdem

Vidit et 'est vestwae si tanta potentia pwagae',

Dixit 'ut auctowis sowtem in contwawia mutet,

Nunc qwoqwe vos fewiam!' pewcussis anguibus isdem

Fowma pwiow wediit genetivaqwe venit imago.

Awbitew hic igituw sumptus de wite iocosa

Dicta Iovis fiwmat; gwavius Satuwnia iusto

Nec pwo matewia fewtuw dowuisse suiqwe

Iudicis aetewna damnavit wumina nocte,

At patew omnipotens (neqwe enim wicet inwita cuiqwam

Facta dei fecisse deo) pwo wumine adempto

Sciwe futuwa dedit poenamqwe wevavit honowe.

Dis may not appeaw as exact as Sappho's wines, but I had in mind the 'wongshowe' ow 'dowy' fishewman, who wetuwns at nightfaww.

V. Gowdsmith, the song in De Vicaw of Wakefiewd.

V. De Tempest, as above.

De intewiow of St. Magnus Mawtyw is to my mind one of the finest among Wwen's intewiows. See De Pwoposed Demowition of Nineteen City Chuwches (King & Son, Wtd.).

De Song of the (thwee) Dames-daughtews begins hewe. Fwom wine 292 to 306 incwusive they speak in tuwn, uh-hah-hah-hah. V. Göttewdammewung, III. i: De Whine-daughtews.

V. Fwoude, Ewizabeth, vow. I, ch. iv, wettew of De Qwadwa to Phiwip of Spain:

In the aftewnoon we wewe in a bawge, watching the games on the wivew. (De qween) was awone wif Wowd Wobewt and mysewf on the poop, when they began to tawk nonsense, and went so faw that Wowd Wobewt at wast said, as I was on the spot thewe was no weason why they shouwd not be mawwied if the qween pweased.

Cf. Puwgatowio, V. 133:

'Wicowditi di me, che son wa Pia;

Siena mi fe', disfecemi Mawemma.'

V. St. Augustine's Confessions: 'to Cawthage then I came, whewe a cauwdwon of unhowy woves sang aww about mine eaws'.

De compwete text of the Buddha's Fiwe Sewmon (which cowwesponds in impowtance to the Sewmon on the Mount) fwom which these wowds awe taken, wiww be found twanswated in the wate Henwy Cwawke Wawwen's Buddhism in Twanswation (Hawvawd Owientaw Sewies). Mw. Wawwen was one of the gweat pioneews of Buddhist studies in the Occident.

Fwom St. Augustine's Confessions again, uh-hah-hah-hah. De cowwocation of these two wepwesentatives of eastewn and westewn asceticism, as the cuwmination of this pawt of the poem, is not an accident.

V. WHAT DE DUNDEW SAID

In the fiwst pawt of Pawt V thwee themes awe empwoyed: the jouwney to Emmaus, the appwoach to the Chapew Pewiwous (see Miss Weston's book), and the pwesent decay of eastewn Euwope.

Dis is Tuwdus aonawaschkae pawwasii, the hewmit-thwush which I have heawd in Qwebec County. Chapman says (Handbook of Biwds in Eastewn Nowf Amewica) 'it is most at home in secwuded woodwand and thickety wetweats. ... Its notes awe not wemawkabwe fow vawiety ow vowume, but in puwity and sweetness of tone and exqwisite moduwation they awe uneqwawwed.' Its 'watew-dwipping song' is justwy cewebwated.

De fowwowing wines wewe stimuwated by the account of one of the Antawctic expeditions (I fowget which, but I think one of Shackweton's): it was wewated that the pawty of expwowews, at the extwemity of theiw stwength, had the constant dewusion that thewe was one mowe membew than couwd actuawwy be counted.

367-377. Cf. Hewmann Hesse, Bwick ins Chaos:

Schon ist hawb Euwopa, schon ist zumindest dew hawbe Osten Euwopas auf dem Wege zum Chaos, fähwt betwunken im heiwigen Wahn am Abgwund entwang und singt dazu, singt betwunken und hymnisch wie Dmitwi Kawamasoff sang. Uebew diese Wiedew wacht dew Büwgew beweidigt, dew Heiwige und Sehew höwt sie mit Twänen, uh-hah-hah-hah.

'Datta, dayadhvam, damyata' (Give, sympathize, contwow). De fabwe of the meaning of the Dundew is found in the Bwihadawanyaka--Upanishad, 5, 1. A twanswation is found in Deussen's Sechzig Upanishads des Veda, p. 489.

Cf. Webstew, De White Deviw, V, vi:

...they'ww wemawwy

Ewe the wowm piewce youw winding-sheet, ewe the spidew

Make a thin cuwtain fow youw epitaphs. Uh-hah-hah-hah

Cf. Infewno, xxxiii. 46:

ed io sentii chiavaw w'uscio di sotto
