Scuttling across the floors of silent seas."

  1. love love love love love love love love

    it.

    love eliot.

    was thinking of getting the last part of "the hollow men" – like, the last 5 stanzas…or maybe just "looking into the heart of light, the silence" from "the wasteland". but i also love the font on this one.

    love it.

  2. That's beautiful! And I love the fact that you have Eliot…I have "each to each" from the same poem around my wrist and no one recognizes it even when I name the poem.

  3. I too, love this line. My Eliot tat is “Do I Dare Disturb the Universe” also from Prufrock.

  4. Still so weird to see my tattoo here.

    Thank you!

  5. i have the same line abbreviated on my arm. i didn't have enough money to get the full line at the time, but it forms a nice 16 letter box (4 x 4) that only i know the meaning of.

    i'd like to think that you're a soulmate, but i think you just have good taste.
