But what have I, but what have I, my friend,
To give you, what can you receive from me?
Only the friendship and the sympathy
Of one about to reach her journey’s end.
I shall sit here, serving tea to friends ….

For I have known them all , T.S. Eliot
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
From The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot (1888 – 1948)
And so you are going abroad, T.S. Eliot
And so you are going abroad; and when do you return?
But that’s a useless question.
You hardly know when you are coming back,
You will find so much to learn.
Portrait of a Lady, T.S. Eliot
Yet with these April sunsets, that somehow recall
My buried life, and Paris in the Spring,
I feel immeasurably at peace, and find the world
To be wonderful and youthful, after all.
Portrait of a Lady, T.S. Eliot
Now that lilacs are in bloom
She has a bowl of lilacs in her room
And twists one in her fingers while she talks.
