I really want a literary tattoo. This is my inspiration. None of these are mine. I post all sources or I will say when I can't find one. If your tattoo is on here and you want it taken down, please let me know. I will be happy to do so. Also, if you want to submit your tattoo, I would love it!

 

“The awful daring of a moment’s surrender” from the last stanza of T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land
Datta: what have we given?  My friend, blood shaking my heart  The awful daring of a moment’s surrender  Which an age of prudence can never retract  By this, and this only, we have existed 5 Which is not to be found in our obituaries  Or in memories draped by the beneficent spider  Or under seals broken by the lean solicitor  In our empty rooms
