The memory throws up high and dry A crowd of twisted things;
A twisted branch upon the beach Eaten smooth, and polished. As if the world gave up The secret of its skeleton, Stiff and white.
A broken spring in a factory yard,
Rust that clings to the form that the strength has left Hard and curled and ready to snap. ….. T. S. Eliott
