Do you dare?????? ๐Ÿคจ

In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo.

And indeed there will be time
To wonder, โ€œDo I dare?โ€ and, โ€œDo I dare?โ€
Time to turn back and descend the stair,
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair โ€”
(They will say: โ€œHow his hair is growing thin!โ€)
My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin โ€”
(They will say: โ€œBut how his arms and legs are thin!โ€)
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.-Eliot
