Love swells like the Solway, but ebbs like its tide.
~Lochinvar
Sir Walter Scott
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

the world, it ends,
taking with it
all therein,
who left to care ?
be it a bang,
or a whimper.
The verses from hollow men's nice..but wat's a solway???
The Solway is river in/near Scotland
Love and all human passions,
Swell like scottish Solway,
providing its own way.
ebbing its tide in a new fashion.
Any how there is no way,
To escape..come what may.
After the world ends
Who's left to ponder
Whether it went with a bang
Or with a whimper?
And my love, may it swell
Mightier than the Solway,
But if it had to end
Let it be with a bang.
The ebbing tide
Leaves a lot in its wake.
The love did swell like the Solway
And I drowned in its flood.
But love still ran in my blood,
When my world ended its own way.
Blood that refused to clot
Blood that refused to blot
Afloat and in drown I did suffer
Yet the blood still ran in my vein
For the end of the world of mine
Was not a bang but a whimper
the blood that runs
carrying the love
that it does
shall not run
for all eternity
for eternity is
a long time
even time far smaller
than eternity is long
the blood shall still flow
but drowned you will not be
and to end in a cliche
time shall heal.
ooh, i love eliot.
—Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.
