Oh, here you are!

[mothwing]

Eyes that last I saw in tears
Through division
Here in death's dream kingdom
The golden vision reappears
I see the eyes but not the tears
This is my affliction

This is my affliction
Eyes I shall not see again
Eyes of decision
Eyes I shall not see unless
At the door of death's other kingdom
Where, as in this,
The eyes outlast a little while
A little while outlast the tears
And hold us in derision.

~ T. S. Eliot

I must say that when I saw the Indiana Jones movie with my brother in German the translated quotes did not really ring a bell. I am rather happy that I found the poem in the end. I wonder why this is listed as a "minor poem". It makes me wonder whether some editor decided that it was one, because it reads as though it was an unused former part of a version of The Hollow Men, maybe.

I wish this collection had proper - or any - annotations, and I wish there were seminars on Eliot in my university.

Ah, well, better walk Crocky home from the bus station.
