The fourth stanza in this poem emulates Andrew Marvell by contemplating a plentiful nature of time before the toast and tea. Starting out on half- deserted streets, the poem winds through what appears to be a salon gathering, and ends with visions of a drowning in the sea, surrounded by mermaids and interrupted by human voices. Unsure of himself, the title character wonders whether he should have been "a pair of ragged claws/Scuttling across the silent seas." For 10 points, name this poem about an insecure man who is either an attendant lord, or at times, the Fool, who hears the women "come and go, talking of Michelangelo" according to T.S. Eliot.
