Episode Notes

"Fourth Caprice in Montparnasse" by TS Eliot


 

We turn the corner of the street 

And again 

Here is a landscape grey with rain 

On black umbrellas, waterproofs, 

And dashing from the slated roofs 

Into a mass of mud and sand. 

Behind a row of blackened trees. 

The dripping plastered houses stand 

Like mendicants without regrets 

For unpaid debts 

Hand in pocket, undecided, 

Indifferent if derided. 


 

Among such scattered thoughts as these 

We turn the corner of the street; 

But why are we so hard to please?



xx Atticus
