A Big Man-Munching Flower

APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing 
Memory and desire, stirring 
Dull roots with spring rain.

What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
 Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man, 
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images.

-T.S. Eliot (noted party monster)
