T. S. Eliot – Le Directeur Poem

Malheur à la malheureuse Tamise!
Tamisel Qui coule si pres du Spectateur.
Le directeur
Conservateur
Du Spectateur
Empeste la brise.
Les actionnaires
Réactionnaires
Du Spectateur
Conservateur
Bras dessus bras dessous
Font des tours
A pas de loup.
Dans un égout
Une petite fille
En guenilles
Camarde
Regarde
Le directeur
Du Spectateur
Conservateur
Et crève d’amour.

Le Directeur Poem English Translation

Evil to the unhappy Thames
Which flows so close to The Spectator. The
Conservative
Director
Of The Spectator
Fouls the breeze.
The reactionary
Shareholders of the
Conservative
Spectator
With folded arms
And stealthy step
Encircle.
In a gutter
A little girl
In rags,
With flattened nose
Looks at the
Conservative
Director
Of The Spectator
And starves for love.
