“time past and time future
what might have been and what has been
point to one end, which is always present.”
― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

“Between the desire
And the spasm,
Between the potency
And the existence,
Between the essence
And the descent,
Falls the Shadow.

This is the way the world ends.

from "The Hollow Man”
― T.S. Eliot, The Complete Poems and Plays
