Appointment with Death

Poirot: I am interested in everything!
Colonel Carbury: Yes. That’s the only way to react to life.

And Then There Were None

One little soldier boy left all alone;
He went and hanged himself and then there were none.

Solo, il soldatino, in un bosco se ne andò: a un pino s’impiccò, e nessuno ne restò.

(Pagina 28)

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

There will be time, there will be time
[…]
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea.

Tea

I always say a cup of tea makes all the difference.

Io dico sempre che una tazza di tè fa tutta la differenza.

Miss Pierce

Tea on the table
I look out of my window
Just snow in the air

Shizu: la “ciliegina sulla torta” – Viaggio Intorno al Tè, tea

Tea has not the arrogance of wine, the self-consciousness of coffee, nor the simpering innocence of cocoa.

Il tè non ha l’arroganza del vino, né la supponenza del caffè e neppure la leziosa innocenza del cacao.
