Mistah Kurtz — he dead
A quotation of The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
A penny for the Old Guy
A quotation of a traditional Guy Fawkes Night saying.
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw.
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw.
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us — if at all — not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us — if at all — not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long
Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
