Shape without form, shade without color, Paralyzed force, gesture without motion Those who have crossed With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom Remember us-if at all-not as lost Violent souls, but only As the hollow men The stuffed men.
T. S. Eliot
Between the idea And the reality Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow
T. S. Eliot
The more perfect the artist, the more completely separate in him will be the man who suffers and the mind which creates.
T. S. Eliot
If we all were judged according to the consequences Of all our words and deeds, beyond the intention And beyond our limited understanding Of ourselves and others, we should all be condemned.
T. S. Eliot
It is impossible to say just what I mean!
T. S. Eliot
The nightingales are singing near The Convent of the Sacred Heart, And sang within the bloody wood When Agamemnon cried aloud, And let their liquid siftings fall To stain the stiff dishonored shroud.
T. S. Eliot
If you want it you must obtain it by great labor.
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
