July 6, 2023Macavity: The Mystery Cat
July 6, 2023Morning at the Window
They are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens,
And along the trampled edges of the street
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
Sprouting despondently at area gates.
The brown waves of fog toss up to me
Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
An aimless smile that hovers in the air
And vanishes along the level of the roofs.
T. S. Eliot
T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) was a British-born American poet, playwright, and literary critic. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential poets of the 20th century, and his works, which include "The Waste Land" and "Four Quartets," are known for their innovative use of language and form. Eliot was also a prominent literary critic and played a major role in shaping the Modernist movement.
