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.

life is long between the desire and the spasm.
T. S. Eliot
And voices singing out of empty cisterns and exhausted wells.

T. S. Eliot
The dripping blood our only drink, The bloody flesh our only food: In spite of which we like to think That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.

T. S. Eliot
In a world of fugitives the one who stays home will seem to be running away

T. S. Eliot
Whatever you do, don't whimper, but take the consequences.
T. S. Eliot
And would it have been worth it, after all, Would it have been worth while, After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets, After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor - And this, and so much more? -
T. S. Eliot
No artist produces great art by a deliberate attempt to express his own personality.
T. S. Eliot
not fare well, but fare forward
T. S. Eliot
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
T. S. Eliot
That is the worst moment, when you feel you have lost / The desires for all that was most desirable, / Before you are contented with what you can desire / Before you know what is left to be desired / And you go on wishing that you could desire / What desire has left behind.
T. S. Eliot
