To justify Christian morality because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion.
T. S. EliotThis is one moment, / But know that another / Shall pierce you with a sudden painful joy.
T. S. EliotIn our rhythm of earthly life we tire of light. We are glad when the day ends, when the play ends; and ecstasy is too much pain.
T. S. Eliot
