His finger on the pulse of that which we can't quite put our finger on. Please post more!

A nice portal into Christian mysticism. Eliot is one of my favorites of all time.

Actually, the first one I think is "Time present and time past..." That is what I meant. That is what I meant at all.

Good God.
This is the stuff.
I recently read the first quartet ("In my beginning is my end...") to my grandmother in her hospital bed.
T.S. Eliot, man.

I had an audio cassette collection of Mr. Eliot reading his own works. I'll have to see if it is still available or on CD!
Who then devised the torment? Love.
Love is the unfamiliar Name
Behind the hands that wove
The intolerable shirt of flame
Which human power cannot remove.
We only live, only suspire
Consumed by either fire or fire.

Who then devised the torment? Love. Love is the unfamiliar Name.... TSE quotes Dame Julian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love, as part of Little Gidding, the forth of the Q.
I've been on the TSE list for many years, a sort of high brow unmoderated chat room where I've met some lasting friends. I visited some of them in the US. And I have this useless affliction of memorizing poetry I like. Still working on 4Q...
Who said one cannot read 4Q, one can only re-read it..?

What's large and grey and writes sad poetry?
T.S. Elephant
This one is for me:
Do not let me hear of the wisdom of old men,
But rather of their folly, their fear of fear and frenzy,
Their fear of belonging to other, or to another
Or to God.
The only wisdom we can hope to acquire
Is the wisdom of humility. Humility is endless.
