Re: Nice find!

In Response To: Nice find! (Louis Wu)


: You'd think I'd have made that connection already... geez. It's not like I
: haven't read that poem a million times or anything...

Followup, given the source, I'd guess this isn't complete (either there's a fuller version to be found in-game, or it was hacked apart by Marty to make it harder to interpret):

Eyes ______ not ______ death's dream kingdom ______ appear ______ Sunlight on a broken column ______ There ______ death's other kingdom ______ Walking alone ______ Trembling ______ Lips ______ Form prayers to broken stone.

(The gaps above aren't missing words in the recording - they're gaps in Eliot's poem.)

The only word that doesn't fit is 'Walking' (from 'Walking alone', above) - Eliot's version is 'Waking'. Odd change - mistake?
