Time to turn back and descend the stair

Ordione State Park: 4/2/18
CC Jean Stimmell

And indeed there will be time

To wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?”

Time to turn back and descend the stair,

With a bald spot in the middle of my hair —

...

Do I dare

Disturb the universe?

In a minute there is time

For decisions and revisions 

which a minute will reverse.*

* from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot
