MORNING AT THE WINDOW, by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: They are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens Last Line: And vanishes along the level of the roofs. Alternate Author Name(s): Eliot, T. S. | |||
THEY are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens, And along the trampled edges of the street I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids Sprouting despondently at area gates. The brown waves of fog toss up to me Twisted faces from the bottom of the street, And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts An aimless smile that hovers in the air And vanishes along the level of the roofs. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOUR QUARTETS: BURNT NORTON by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT GERONTION by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT HYSTERIA by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT LA FIGLIA CHE PIANGE by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT PORTRAIT OF A LADY by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT PRELUDES: 1-4 (COMPLETE) by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT RHAPSODY ON A WINDY NIGHT by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT SWEENEY AMONG THE NIGHTINGALES by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT SWEENEY AMONG THE NIGHTINGALES by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT THE BOSTON EVENING TRANSCRIPT by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT |
