1. A poem that tends to pop into your mind

I We are the hollow men We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! Our dried voices, when  We whisper together Are quiet and meaningless As wind in dry grass or rats' feet over broken glass In our dry cellar Shape without form, shade without colour,  Paralysed force, gesture without motion; Those who have crossed With direct eyes, to death's other kingdom  Remember us - if at all - not as lost Violent souls, but only As the hollow men  The stuffed men.  II Eyes I dare not meet in dreams In death's dream kingdom These do not appear:  There, the eyes are Sunlight on a broken column  There, is a tree swinging And voices are  In the wind's singing  More distant and more solemn  Than a fading star. Let me be no nearer In death's dream kingdom  Let me also wear Such deliberate disguises Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves In a field Behaving as the wind behaves No nearer -  Not that final meeting  In the twilight kingdom III This is the dead land This is cactus land Here the stone images Are raised, here they receive The supplication of a dead man's hand Under the twinkle of a fading star. Is it like this In death's other kingdom  Waking alone At the hour when we are Trembling with tenderness Lips that would kiss Form prayers to broken stone. IV The eyes are not here There are no eyes here In this valley of dying stars In this hollow valley This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms In this last of meeting places  We grope together And avoid speech Gathered on this beach of this tumid river Sightless, unless The eyes reappear As the perpetual star Multifoliate rose Of death's twilight kingdom The hope only Of empty men. V Here we go round the prickly pear Prickly pear prickly pear Here we go round the prickly pear At five o'clock in the morning.  Between the idea And the reality Between the motion  And the act Falls the Shadow                     For Thine is the Kingdom Between the conception And the creation  Between the emotion  And the response Falls the Shadow                     Life is very long Between the desire And the spasm  Between the potency And the existence Between the essence And the descent Falls the Shadow                     For Thine is the Kingdom For Thine is Life is For Thine is the This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but with a whimper.

The Hollow Men by T. S. Eliot.

2. One line in a song

A shaft of light is all I need, to cease the darkness killing me.

Shiro Sagisu - Who Will Know

3. One line in a movie

Any man who must say "I am the king" is no true king.

Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister (Game of Thrones S3E10) I know it isn't strictly speaking a movie, but it's still a great line.

4. A word you'll avoid for fear of over-usage

Amazing. Overuse cheapens the word.

5. One word that is you, metaphorically (no explanation)

Still.
