What goes around...only comes back to you if it's a boomerang. Or gossip, that ALWAYS comes back to bite ya.

"The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,
Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,
Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,
Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
And seeing that it was a soft October night,
Curled once about the house, and fell asleep." (The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock)

Greta Carroll said:

“And should I then presume?
And how should I begin?

“Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets
And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes
Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows?...” (Eliot lines 68-72).

"S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse a persona che mai tornasse al mondo, questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. Ma percioche giammai di questo fondo non torno vivo alcun, s'i'odo il vero, senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo."

“55And I have known the eyes already, known them all--
56The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,
57And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
58When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,”
“I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.”

“S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse

A persona che mai tornasse al mondo,

Non torno vivo alcun, s'i'odo il vero,

Senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo."

No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;

Am an attendant loard, one that will do

To swell a progress, start a scene or two,

Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool.... (Prufrock lines 111-114)

To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
