  • anydelirium 'I keep my countenance,
    I remain self-possessed
    Except when a street piano, mechanical and tired
    Reiterated some worn-out common song
    With the smell of hyacinths across the garden
    Recalling things that other people have desired
    Are these ideas right or wrong?'

    -A Portrait of a Lady, by T.S. Eliot Feb 21, 2008
