Coffee Spoons

This is Meghan's tattoo.

I fell in love with this line the first time I read Prufrock. I can honestly say it changed how I think about life.

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

- T.S. Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
