Re: I spoke death (maybe) *SP*

In Response To: Re: I spoke death (maybe) *SP* (Louis Wu)


: Here's a filtered version:
: http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/ispokedeath_filtered.mp3

: Here's what I hear (clearly, still stuff needs work): I spoke (eyes smoke?)
: death dream kingdom, up here at sun line in a broken column... air, meet
: death's [lun?] kingdom, walking low... trembling lips hold prayers to
: broken stone

Sounds very similar to T.S. "This is the way the world ends" Eliot. Specifically, "The Hollow Men."

This part of the poem is a fairly close match:

"Is it like this
In death’s other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone."

The entire text can be found at the link below.

The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot
