[00:02.062] The Hollow Men
[00:03.401]
[00:04.272] A penny for the Old Guy
[00:06.294]
[00:07.104] I
[00:07.878]
[00:08.470] We are the hollow men
[00:10.866] We are the stuffed men
[00:12.599] Leaning together
[00:13.974] Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
[00:17.792] Our dried voices, when
[00:20.004] We whisper together
[00:21.599] Are quiet and meaningless
[00:23.789] As wind in dry grass
[00:26.024] Or rats' feet over broken glass
[00:28.875] In our dry cellar
[00:30.932]
[00:31.425] Shape without form, shade without colour,
[00:36.287] Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
[00:40.761]
[00:41.288] Those who have crossed
[00:43.947] With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
[00:47.346] Remember us-if at all-not as lost
[00:51.896] Violent souls, but only
[00:54.432] As the hollow men
[00:56.712] The stuffed men.
[00:58.378]
[00:59.038] II
[00:59.575]
[01:00.078] Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
[01:02.803] In death's dream kingdom
[01:05.037] These do not appear:
[01:06.617] There, the eyes are
[01:09.271] Sunlight on a broken column
[01:11.663] There, is a tree swinging
[01:15.186] And voices are
[01:17.133] In the wind's singing
[01:19.008] More distant and more solemn
[01:21.584] Than a fading star.
[01:23.462]
[01:24.259] Let me be no nearer
[01:26.915] In death's dream kingdom
[01:29.158] Let me also wear
[01:31.189] Such deliberate disguises
[01:33.069] Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves
[01:36.424] In a field
[01:37.867] Behaving as the wind behaves
[01:41.193] No nearer-
[01:43.084]
[01:43.812] Not that final meeting
[01:46.827] In the twilight kingdom
[01:48.327]
[01:48.814] III
[01:50.525]
[01:51.410] This is the dead land
[01:53.489] This is cactus land
[01:55.608] Here the stone images
[01:57.929] Are raised, here they receive
[02:00.019] The supplication of a dead man's hand
[02:02.991] Under the twinkle of a fading star.
[02:06.701]
[02:07.979] Is it like this
[02:10.224] In death's other kingdom
[02:12.235] Waking alone
[02:14.013] At the hour when we are
[02:16.303] Trembling with tenderness
[02:18.353] Lips that would kiss
[02:20.777] Form prayers to broken stone.
[02:24.029]
[02:24.464] IV
[02:26.413] The eyes are not here
[02:28.488] There are no eyes here
[02:30.346] In this valley of dying stars
[02:33.196] In this hollow valley
[02:35.637] This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
[02:39.431]
[02:40.283] In this last of meeting places
[02:43.464] We grope together
[02:45.588] And avoid speech
[02:47.416] Gathered on this beach of the tumid river
[02:51.085]
[02:52.169] Sightless, unless
[02:54.051] The eyes reappear
[02:55.683] As the perpetual star
[02:57.877] Multifoliate rose
[02:59.923] Of death's twilight kingdom
[03:02.812] The hope only
[03:06.173] Of empty men.
[03:08.509]
[03:10.076] V
[03:10.820] Here we go round the prickly pear
[03:11.983] Prickly pear prickly pear
[03:13.645] Here we go round the prickly pear
[03:15.958] At five o'clock in the morning.
[03:17.833]
[03:18.786] Between the idea
[03:20.571] And the reality
[03:22.431] Between the motion
[03:23.861] And the act
[03:25.459] Falls the Shadow
[03:26.965] For Thine is the Kingdom
[03:30.367]
[03:31.448] Between the conception
[03:33.147] And the creation
[03:34.822] Between the emotion
[03:36.202] And the response
[03:37.875] Falls the Shadow
[03:41.189] Life is very long
[03:43.755]
[03:44.914] Between the desire
[03:46.523] And the spasm
[03:48.046] Between the potency
[03:49.753] And the existence
[03:51.437] Between the essence
[03:53.270] And the descent
[03:55.178] Falls the Shadow
[03:57.157] For Thine is the Kingdom
[04:00.959]
[04:02.592] For Thine is
[04:04.265] Life is
[04:08.066] For Thine is the
[04:11.634]
[04:13.069] This is the way the world ends
[04:14.973] This is the way the world ends
[04:16.552] This is the way the world ends
[04:18.398] Not with a bang but a whimper.
