E
Eliot, T.S.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.
("Four Quartets")
Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock
Only those who go too far can know how far one can go!
Elliot, George
What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen each other in all labour, to minister to each other in all sorrow, to share with each other in all gladness, to be one with each other in the silent unspoken memories?
For what is love itself, for the one we love best?--an enfolding of
immeasurable cares which yet are better than any joys outside our love.
