T.S. Eliot - The Hollow Men

Another deathly poem for Halloween week.  I'm only posting a snippet.  These words are some of his most quoted.  At the bottom is a link to T.S. Eliot reading the entire poem if you're interested.

The Hollow Men
T.S. Eliot

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.
