T. S. Eliot
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids Sprouting despondently at area gates.
T. S. Eliot
Teach us to care and not to care Teach us to sit still. Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
T. S. Eliot
A cold coming we had of it, Just the worst time of the year For a journey, and such a long journey: The ways deep and the weather sharp, The very dead of winter.

What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.
T. S. Eliot
