There's a line from a poem which eulogises the warm, bare arms of girls, or some such. Can Inky, or anyone else, pinpoint the poem? I'm drawn towards Betjeman or Auden, but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks.

Is it T.S. Eliot? From The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock? "And I have known the arms already, known them all' Arms that are braceleted and white and bare (But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!) Is it perfume from a dress That makes me so digress? Arms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl." That's the only one that comes to mind....
Question Author
Thanks for that, larabell, but I'm not sure. What is drifting around at the back of my mind is far more Betjeman-like, more Hunter-Dunn than Prufrock. Thanks for reminding me, though, of the Love Song. Allen.
