Since I've seen you quote the final line of this, I figured you may as well see the whole thing, if you haven't already. From "The Waste Land", by T. S. Eliot, "I Burial of the Dead", lines 19-30:

You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only

(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust. 30

i've actually got a small book containing The Wastelands sitting in a pile of books on my dresser. It's one of the few books I cherish too much to leave in a box with the hundreds of others I lugged from Tennessee to Pennsylvania.

Of course, that doesn't mean I'm not delighted to see someone post from it.
