Not with a bang but a whimper

And this is why I love lit. so much.

Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o'clock in the morning.

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow

For Thine is the Kingdom

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow

Life is very long

Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom

For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

T.S. Eliot, "Hollow Men", V

A request

Hi, I'm having issues finding a poem and I was wondering if any of yous could help me. Apparently it isn't online *grumble* but if anybody knows of the poem, that would be great. I'm looking for Now In Thy Splendour by Laurence Binyon.

Anyone?

Edited--

Let's add these to the list as well:

A Testament - Siegfried Sassoon Thanks holliethefairy!
For All That We Have And Are - Rudyard Kipling Thanks tigertrapped!

Ha. April Fools. Except it's 11pm...

Heh, nice gag. Anyone else's update button doing a jig on them before 'processing' their 'whining'?
