1885-1965, American/British Poet, Dramatist, Critic
Beginning / Endeavour
What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make our end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from ...
And so each venture
is a new beginning,
a raid on the inarticulate.
Four Quartets , 1943, 1974In my beginning is my end.

Centering
The still point of the turning world …
And do not call it fixity, where past and future are gathered.
Except for the point, the still point
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
