    Let us go then, you and I,

    When the evening is spread out against the sky

    Like a patient etherized upon a table;

      Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,

      The muttering retreats

      Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels

      And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:

      Streets that follow like a tedious argument

      Of insidious intent

      To lead you to an overwhelming question …

      Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”

      Let us go and make our visit.

      In the room the women come and go

      Talking of Michelangelo.
