T. S. Eliot
Our difficulties of the moment must always be dealt with somehow, but our permanent difficulties are difficulties of every moment.
T. S. Eliot
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us... and we drown.
T. S. Eliot
Those who say they give the public what it wants begin by underestimating public taste and end by debauching it.
T. S. Eliot
If all time is eternally present, all time is unredeemable
T. S. Eliot
I should have been a pair of ragged claws/ Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
