Quotes from T.S. Eliot

I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing....
~ T.S. Eliot

~ T.S. Eliot

~ T.S. Eliot
Love reciprocated is always rejuvenating.
~ T.S. Eliot
Those who glitter with the glory of the hummingbird meaning death
