The word within a word, unable to speak a word
T.S. EliotWe read many books, because we cannot know enough people.
T.S. EliotUnreal friendship may turn to real
But real friendship, once ended, cannot be mended

The awful daring of a moment's surrender which an age of prudence
can never retract.
by this, and only this, we have existed.
After the torchlight red on sweaty faces
After the frosty silence in the gardens
After the agony in stony places
The crying and the shouting
Prison and place and reverberation
Of thunder of spring over distant mountains
He was living is now dead
We who were living are now dying
With a little patience
I think we are in rats’ alley
Where the dead men lost their bones.

And the end and the beginning where always there, before the beginning and after the end.

Hay épocas en que uno siente que ha caído a pedazos y a la vez se ve a sí mismo en mitad de la carretera estudiando las piezas sueltas, preguntándose si será capaz de montarlas otra vez y qué especie de artefaco saldrá.

After such knowledge, what forgiveness? Think now
History has many cunning passages, contrived corridors
And issues, deceives with whispering ambitions,
Guides us by vanities. Think now
She gives when our attention is distracted
And what she gives, gives with such supple confusions
That the giving famishes the craving. Gives too late
What’s not believed in, or if still believed,
In memory only, reconsidered passion. Gives too soon
Into weak hands, what’s thought can be dispensed with
Till the refusal propagates a fear. Think
Neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices
Are fathered by our heroism. Virtues
Are forced upon us by our impudent crimes.
These tears are shaken from the wrath-bearing tree.
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse
