1Mistah Kurtz — he dead.
2A penny for the Old Guy
3We are the hollow men
4We are the stuffed men
5Leaning together
6Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
7Our dried voices, when
8We whisper together
9Are quiet and meaningless
10As wind in dry grass
11Or rats' feet over broken glass
12In our dry cellar
13Shape without form, shade without colour,
14Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
15Those who have crossed
16With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
17Remember us — if at all — not as lost
18Violent souls, but only
19As the hollow men
20The stuffed men.
21Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
22In death's dream kingdom
23These do not appear:
24There, the eyes are
25Sunlight on a broken column
26There, is a tree swinging
27And voices are
28In the wind's singing
29More distant and more solemn
30Than a fading star.
31Let me be no nearer
32In death's dream kingdom
33Let me also wear
34Such deliberate disguises
35Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves
36In a field
37Behaving as the wind behaves
38No nearer —
39Not that final meeting
40In the twilight kingdom
41This is the dead land
42This is cactus land
43Here the stone images
44Are raised, here they receive
45The supplication of a dead man's hand
46Under the twinkle of a fading star.
47Is it like this
48In death's other kingdom
49Waking alone
50At the hour when we are
51Trembling with tenderness
52Lips that would kiss
53Form prayers to broken stone.
54The eyes are not here
55There are no eyes here
56In this valley of dying stars
57In this hollow valley
58This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
59In this last of meeting places
60We grope together
61And avoid speech
62Gathered on this beach of the tumid river
63Sightless, unless
64The eyes reappear
65As the perpetual star
66Multifoliate rose
67Of death's twilight kingdom
68The hope only
69Of empty men.
70Here we go round the prickly pear
71Prickly pear prickly pear
72Here we go round the prickly pear
73At five o'clock in the morning.
74Between the idea
75And the reality
76Between the motion
77And the act
78Falls the Shadow
79For Thine is the Kingdom
80Between the conception
81And the creation
82Between the emotion
83And the response
84Falls the Shadow
85Life is very long
86Between the desire
87And the spasm
88Between the potency
89And the existence
90Between the essence
91And the descent
92Falls the Shadow
93For Thine is the Kingdom
94For Thine is
95Life is
96For Thine is the
97This is the way the world ends
98This is the way the world ends
99This is the way the world ends
100Not with a bang but a whimper.
