The first part of T.S. Eliot's "Preludes"


[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks.

I love T.S. Eliot. I find some parts in Four Quartets very inspiring.
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Four_Quartets

"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

"The only wisdom we can hope to acquire
Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless."

"Whatever we inherit from the fortunate
We have taken from the defeated
What they had to leave us — a symbol:
A symbol perfected in death.
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
By the purification of the motive
In the ground of our beseeching."
