Quotes

I grow old? I grow old? I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me. I have seen them riding seaward on the waves Combing the white hair of the waves blown back When the wind blows the water white and black. We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls... T. S. Eliot
We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring. Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. Through the unknown, remembered gate. When the last of earth left to discover. Is that which was the beginning; At the source of the longest river. The voice of the hidden waterfall. And the children in the apple-tree. Not known, because not looked for But heard, half-heard, in the stillness. Between two waves of the sea. T. S. Eliot
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves Combing the white hair of the waves blown back When the wind blows the water white and black. We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us, and we drown. T. S. Eliot
The only wisdom we can hope to acquire. Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless. The houses are all gone under the sea. The dancers are all gone under the hill. T. S. Eliot
O voyagers, O seamen, You who came to port, and you whose bodies. Will suffer the trial and judgement of the sea, Or whatever event, this is your real destination.'So Krishna, as when he admonished Arjuna. On the field of battle. Not fare well, But fare forward, voyagers. T. S. Eliot
And the lost heart stiffens and rejoices in the lost lilac and the lost sea voices and the weak spirit quickens to rebel for the bent golden-rod and the lost sea smell quickens to recover. T. S. Eliot
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea. By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown. Till human voices wake us... and we drown. T. S. Eliot
T. S. Eliot quote: "The river is within us, the sea is all about us;"
The river is within us, the sea is all about us; T. S. Eliot
T. S. Eliot quote: "I should have been a pair of ragged claws/ Scuttling across..."
I should have been a pair of ragged claws/ Scuttling across the floors of silent seas. T. S. Eliot
