I love T.S. Eliot.

Let us go then. You and I. When the evening is spread out against the sky. Like a patient etherized on a table.

Let us go through half-deserted streets, the muttering retreats Of one night (ugh, can’t remember!) Of sawdust restaurants and oyster shells?

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

Yeah, I had it memorized at some point and would carry a copy in my day planner. IMO, it is a poem that is timeless and relevant at any person’s age.
