3 Like a patient etherized upon a table;

4 Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,

6 Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels

7 And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:

8 Streets that follow like a tedious argument

10 To lead you to an overwhelming question ...

13 In the room the women come and go

15 The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,

16 The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,

17 Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,

18 Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,

19 Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,

20 Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,

21 And seeing that it was a soft October night,

22 Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.

24 For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,

25 Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;

26 There will be time, there will be time

71 And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes

51 I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
