Eyes that last I saw in tears <br />Through division <br />Here in death's dream kingdom <br />The golden vision reappears <br />I see the eyes but not the tears <br />This is my affliction <br /> <br />This is my affliction <br />Eyes I shall not see again <br />Eyes of decision <br />Eyes I shall not see unless <br />At the door of death's other kingdom <br />Where, as in this, <br />The eyes outlast a little while <br />A little while outlast the tears <br />And hold us in derision.<br /><br />Thomas Stearns Eliot<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eyes-that-last-i-saw-in-tears/
