- Who is the third who walks always beside you?
- When I count, there are only you and I together
- But when I look ahead up the white road
- There is always another one walking beside you
- Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded
- I do not know whether a man or a woman
- -- But who is that on the other side of you?
- What is that sound high in the air
- Murmur of maternal lamentation
- Who are those hooded hordes swarming
- Over endless plains, stumbling in cracked earth
- Ringed by the flat horizon only...
T.S. Eliot: from The Waste Land, 1922
