close to the end of this (great) movie we hear burt lancaster quotes from a poem. it is about footsteps from the upper floor symbolising the coming death. can anybody tell me the title of this poem and more about it?
shareI'd like to know too.
- Who is God ?
- When you close your eyes and make a wish, God is the one who doesn't care about.
This is not a poem. The professor says: "There is a book I have on my bed-table and I keep re-reading from it.The story is about a tenant on the upper floor..."
shareoh, thank you for this reply!
you may be right - and I hav it wrong in my memory...
but still, the question remains: what book is he talking about?
or is it just a sentence with no real book behind?
nice greetings
from tom
that as a poem from W H AUDEN , i am suching too!
the book about who the professor speak was an other , maybe a tale from Sheridan le fanu
