An Excerpt from Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"

Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

For I have known them all already, known them all--
Have known the evening, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
I know the voices dying with a fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
    So how should I presume?
