Charcoal Drawing 'Morning at the Window' by T.S.Eliot, I.G

Charcoal Drawing ‘Morning at the Window’ by T.S. Eliot , I.G.

Morning at the Window

They are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens,

And along the trampled edges of the street

I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids

Sprouting despondently at are gates.

The brown waves of fog toss up to me

Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,

And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts

An aimless smile that hovers in the air

And vanishes along the level of the roofs. *

T.S. Eliot

(1888 – 1965)

Sand Book

What happiness is to overcome internal disability,

Listen to the own heart:

In it is a singing and dancing girl’s skylark – 

the sun’s liberator near the river,

Where blue sky shines

As his brought slightly sweet taste of leavened bread rolls

Dissolving in the mouth.

-------------------------

Light breeze moves closer

By soft mist turning the sand’s book pages.

What is happiness to hear your heart!
