Death by water

março 2, 2010

Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,

Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell

And the profit and loss.

A current under sea

Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell

He passed the stages of his age and youth

Entering the whirlpool.

Gentile or jew,

O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,

consider Phlebas, who was once as handsome and tall as

you.

T. S. Eliot
