All shall be well, and
All manner of thing shall be well
All manner of thing shall be well
It's perfection. I'd read enough quotes from Four Quartets to know I wanted to read the whole set and it was worth every minute. Each poem stands on its own and tie into each other as a whole.
'Fare forward, you who think that you are voyaging;/ You are not those who saw the harbor/ Receding, or those who will disembark./ Here between the hither and the farther shore/ While time is withdrawn, consider the future/ And the past with an equal mind."
"For last year's words belong to last year's language/ And next year's words await another voice."
"For last year's words belong to last year's language/ And next year's words await another voice."
I know I will be reading and studying this throughout my lifetime. Little Gidding alone...
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always--
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)"

"В неподвижната точка/ на кръжащия свят./ Нито от плът,/ нито без плът,/ ни от, ни към;
в неподвижната точка/ е танцът." - бавно, но славно; славно, но бавно
в неподвижната точка/ е танцът." - бавно, но славно; славно, но бавно
Mystery box book #12!
I've definitely read this before -- I read "Burnt Norton" earlier this year, in fact -- but I can't remember the last time I read the full cycle. It's good -- complex and strange and unknowable. I like that about it, and Eliot's work in general: the feeling that there are a thousand different stories in every single line, and no matter how many times I reread, I'll never comprehend them all.
