Shadows

Shadows

Shadows are fragments of life, broken images which have been shattered against the wall of personal destiny and human will.

A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,

And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,

And the dry stone no sound of water. Only

There is shadow under this red rock,

(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),

And I will show you something different from either

Your shadow at morning striding behind you

Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;

I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

from "The Waste Land" by T.S.Eliot
