Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? The cycles of heaven in twenty centuries have bought us farther from God and nearer to the dust
T.S. EliotA prose that is altogether alive demands something of the reader that the ordinary novel reader is not prepared to give.
T.S. EliotStichwörter: reading writing prose
My friend, blood shaking my heart
The awful daring of a moment’s surrender
Which an age of prudence can never retract
By this, and this only, we have existed
Which is not to be found in our obituaries
Or in memories draped by the beneficent spider
Or under seals broken by the lean solicitor
In our empty rooms
Teach us to care and not to care
Teach us to sit still.
Because I know that time is time and place is always and only place and what is actual is actual only for one time and only for one place, I rejoice that things are as they are and I renounce the blessed faces and renounce the voice because I cannot hope to turn again.
T.S. EliotSovegna vos.
Here are the years that walk between, bearing
Away the fiddles and the flutes, restoring
One who moves in the time between sleep and waking, wearing
White light folded, sheathed about her, folded.
The new years walk, restoring
Through a bright cloud of tears, the years, restoring
With a new verse the ancient rhyme. Redeem
The time. Redeem
The unread vision in the higher dream
While jewelled unicorns draw by the gilded hearse.

Culture may even be described simply as that which makes life worth living.
T.S. EliotAnd I must borrow every changing shape
To find expression ... dance, dance
Like a dancing bear,
Cry like a parrot, chatter like an ape.
Let us take the air, in a tobacco trance
And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.
Knowledge is invariably a matter of degree : you cannot put your finger upon even the simplest datum and say 'this we know'.
