Ever since studying Murder in the Cathedral during my school years, I have been a bit of a T.S.Eliot fan. For those not familar with his work, Eliot (1888-1965), who identifed himself as an Anglo-Catholic, was one of the most significant poets and playwrights of the twentieth century. In 1948 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Here is a tiny taste of some of his many reflections…
- Where is the life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? T.S.Eliot
- To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man’s life. T.S.Eliot
- 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
- If you aren’t in over your head, how do you know how tall you are? T.S.Eliot
- Every moment is a fresh beginning. T.S.Eliot
As always, nice chatting…
