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.

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.

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

Thank you!

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.
