    The Waste Land
    If there were water
    And no rock
    If there were rock
    And also water
    And water
    A spring
    A pool among the rock
    If there were the sound of water only
    Not the cicada
    And dry grass singing
    But sound of water over a rock
    Where the hermit-thrush sings in the pine tress
    Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop
    But there is no water

    -T.S. Eliot



    The Hollow Men

    III

    This is the dead land
    This is cactus land
    Here the stone images
    Are raised, here they receive
    The supplication of a dead man's hand
    Under the twinkle of a fading star.

    Is it like this
    In death's other kingdom
    Walking alone
    At the hour when we are
    Trembling with tenderness
    Lips that would kiss
    Form prayers to broken stone.

    -T.S. Eliot

    If you've never been, I suggest vising Astronomy Picture of the Day once in a while (daily if possible). Always breathtaking images to be seen.
