The only hope, or else despair Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre - To be redeemed from fire by fire.
T. S. Eliot
Ash on an old man's sleeve / Is all the ash the burnt roses leave, / Dust in the air suspended / Marks the place where a story ended.
T. S. Eliot
People to whom nothing has ever happened cannot understand the unimportance of events.
T. S. Eliot
Now that the lilacs are in bloom She has a bowl of lilacs in her room
