The river’s tent is broken: the last fingers of leaf
Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
Or other testimony of summer nights. The nymphs are departed.
And their friends, the loitering heirs of city directors;
Departed, have left no addresses.
By the waters of Leman I sat down and wept…
Sweet Thames, run softly till I end my song,
Sweet Thames, run softly, for I speak not loud or long.
But at my back in a cold blast I hear
The rattle of the bones, and chuckle spread from ear to ear.

Goodman.

Ancient words, dark words, forgotten words -- to match what is to come.

Keep them close, for a lost key does the lock no good. If you prove worthy, you shall be rewarded.

The Fire Sermon, Part Three of The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot. Interesting, I happen to have a copy laying around somewhere at my house. Although... I'm sure discussing poetry isn't the reason you've sent this transmission.

I'm a busy man, but either way you've caught my attention, chap. So I suppose we'll play this little game of yours.
