“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?”
― The Waste Land and Other Poems

“و تو رفتی هنوز
سالهاست که در گوش من آرام آرام
خش خش گام تو تکرار کنان
می دهد آزارم
و من اندیشه کنان غرق این پندارم
که چرا
خانه کوچک ما سیب نداشت”
