I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me.
T. S. EliotEnvy is everywhere. Who is without envy? And most people Are unaware or unashamed of being envious.
T. S. EliotNo place of grace for those who avoid the Face. No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny the Voice.
T. S. EliotTo arrive where you are, to get from where you are not, You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy. In order to arrive at what you do not know You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance. In order to possess what you do not possess You must go by the way of dispossession. In order to arrive at what you are not You must go through the way in which you are not. And what you do not know is the only thing you know And what you own is what you do not own And where you are is where you are not.
T. S. Eliot
