Eliot / The winter evening settles down / With smell of steaks in passageways. / Six o'clock. / The burnt-out ends of smoky days. / And now a gusty shower wraps / The grimy scraps / Of withered leaves about your feet / And newspapers from vacant lots; / The showers beat / On broken blinds and chimney - pots, / And at the corner of the street / A lonely cab - horse steams and stamps. / And then the lighting of the lamps. / POEMS ON THE UNDERGROUND / COMPTON POETRY FUND - FABER & FABER - THE BRITISH LIBRARY - (ZWEIG PROGRAMME) - THE BRITISH COUNCIL - QUEEN MARY COLLEGE, LONDON - DESIGNED BY MPD, LONDON COLLEGE OF PRINTING - TYPESET BY APT PHOTOSET 01-701 0477 - PRINTING BY FIRST IMPRESSION 01-639 7817.
