- And indeed there will be timeTo wonder, "Do I dare?" and "Do I dare?"
- But where is the penny world I boughtTo eat with Pipit behind the screen?
- And you wait for a knock and the turning of a lock for you know the hangman's waiting for you.
- You had such a vision of the streetAs the street hardly understands,
- (They will say; "But how his hair is growing thin:")
- Well he kept her there in a bathWith a gallon of lysol in a bath
- I gotta use words when I talk to you
- "I will show you fear in a handful of dust"

- Whipsering lunar incantations,Dissolve the floors of memory
- No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
- We are the hollow menWe are the hollow men
