Quotes
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.
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain.


Both of Eliot’s parents wrote poetry in their spare time. Aged ten, Eliot astounded his family by diving into the 17th-century complexities of John Milton. His love of Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories can be glimpsed in the smog-filled lines of his early poetry
