      Unafraid Of The Dark

      Mar 27, 2018

      SOME YEARS AGO, in a workshop, I wrote about my sister’s self-destructive adolescence. I recounted her recklessness with boys and alcohol, the anger that erupted like a geyser inside her, and her hell-bent desire to run away—which she did by joining

      The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

      S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse

      A persona che mai tornasse al mondo,

      Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.

      Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo

      Non torno vivo alcun, s'i'odo il vero,

      Senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

      Let us go then, you and I,

      When the evening is spread out against the sky

      Like a patient etherized upon a table;

      Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,

      The muttering retreats

      Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels

      And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:

      Streets that follow like a tedious argument

      Of insidious intent

      To lead you to an overwhelming question...

      Oh, do not ask, What is it?

      Let us go and make our visit.

      In the room the women come and go

      Talking of Michelangelo.

      The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,

      The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,

      Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,

      Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,

      Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,

      Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,

      And seeing that it was a soft October night,

      Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.

      And indeed there will be time

      For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,

      Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;

      There will be time, there will be time

      To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;

      There will be time to murder and create,

      And time for all the works and days of hands

      That lift and drop a question on your plate;

      Time for you and time for me,

      And time yet for a hundred indecisions,

      And for a hundred visions and revisions,

      Before the taking of a toast and tea.

      In the room the women come and go

      Talking of Michelangelo.

      And indeed there will be time

      To wonder, Do I dare? and, Do I dare?

      Time to turn back and descend the stair,

      With a bald spot in the middle of my hair—

      (They will say: "How his hair
