Over time I've managed to read a lot of poems, both in school and just on my own time... I was wondering if anyone had any particular excerps that they find particularly good or meaningful? (If your willing to share XD)

So i'll go with these:

(I like this one because Its a nice evaluation of self XD)
From "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"

And I have known the eyes already, known them all—
The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,
And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
Then how should I begin
To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?
And how should I presume?

And this one: (I just like it.. don't find it too meaningful)

From (err I forget but its like a UT site)

Red flagger in base,
But I've got a flak cannon,
Red flag returned,

Sooooosssssss, anyone have anything they want to share?
