Portrait of a Lady

 Portrait of a Lady

by T.S. Eliot (1917)

I take my hat: how can I make a cowardly amends For what she has said to me?         You will see me any morning in the park Reading the comics and the sporting page. Particularly I remark An English countess goes upon the stage. A Greek was murdered at a Polish dance,         Another bank defaulter has confessed. I keep my countenance, I remain self-possessed Except when a street piano, mechanical and tired Reiterates some worn-out common song         With the smell of hyacinths across the garden Recalling things that other people have desired. Are these ideas right or wrong?
