    I grow old … I grow old …

    I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

    Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat

    a peach?

    I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon

    the beach.

    I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

    I do not think that they will sing to me.

    I have seen them riding seaward on the waves

    Combing the white hair of the waves blown

    back

    When the wind blows the water white and

    black.

    We have lingered in the chambers of the sea

    By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and

    brown

    Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

    T. S. Eliot – from “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”
