pull down to refresh
Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it towards some overwhelming question
T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and Other Poems
Only through time time is conquered
T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
There's no vocabulary For love within a family, love that's lived in But not looked at, love within the light of which All else is seen, the love within which All other love finds speech. This love is silent.
T.S. Eliot
The God Thou servest is thine own appetite, wherein is fixed the love of Beelzebub. To Him I'll build an altar and a church, and offer lukewarm blood of new-born babes.
----Christopher Marlowe, Dr. Faustus
We die with the dying;
See, they depart, and we go with them.
We are born with the dead:
See, they return, and bring us with them.
T.S. Eliot
It is impossible to say just what I mean!
T.S. Eliot

Attachment to self and to things and to persons, detachment
From self and from things and from persons; and, growing between them, indifference, ... .
T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
What sadness lengthens Romeo's hours?
Romeo: Not having that, which, having, makes them short.
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
