In my beginning is my end. in succession houses rise and fall, crumble, are extended, are removed, destroyed, restored, or in their place is an open field, or a factory, or a by-pass. old stone to new building, old timber to new fires, old fires to ashes, and ashes to the earth which is already flesh, fur and faeces, bone of man and beast, cornstalk and leaf.

More From T. S. Eliot

'ever seen a leaf - a leaf from a tree?' 'yes.' i saw one recently - a yellow one, a little green, wilted at the edges. blown by the wind. when i was a little boy, i used to shut my eyes in winter and imagine a green leaf, with veins on it, and the sun shining ...' 'what's this - an allegory?' "no; why? not an allegory - a leaf, just a leaf. a leaf is good. everything's good.'

Every thing thinks, but according to its complexity. if this is so, then stones also think...and this stone thinks only i stone, i stone, i stone. but perhaps it cannot even say i. it thinks: stone, stone, stone... god enjoys being all, as this stone enjoys being almost nothing, but since it knows no other way of being, it is pleased with its own way, eternally satisfied with itself.
Thinking Stones Way
In the construction of houses, choice of woods is made. straight un-knotted timber of good appearance is used for the revealed pillars, straight timber with small defects is used for the inner pillars. timbers of the finest appearance, even if a little weak, is used for the thresholds, lintels, doors, and sliding doors, and so on. good strong timber, though it be gnarled and knotted, can always be used discreetly in construction.
Strong Doors Choices
The person i love would never wear fur. fur just makes me think of shallow women who have no conscience. the fur industry belongs to a time when people were selfish beyond belief. if you were some ancient tribal cheiftain, and there was not a department store nearby 350 years ago, i'd understand. but now, we have synthetic fibers,and it's not necessary. the elitism of fur makes me wanna puke.
Selfish Thinking Years
But if an actress asks me my opinion, i would tell her there are a million different designers who make faux fur. if you like that look, wear faux fur. if you're doing it on the red carpet, you're doing it for how it looks. faux fur and real fur look the same on camera.
Real Fur Looks
When the devil makes his offer (always open incidentally) of the kingdoms of the earth, it is the bordellos which glow so alluringly to most of us, not the banks and the counting-houses and the snow-swept corridors of power . . . sex is the mysticism of a materialistic society - in the beginning was the flesh, and the flesh became word; with its own mysteries - this is my birth pill; swallow it in remembrance of me! - and its own sacred texts and scriptures - the erotica which fall like black atomic rain on the just and unjust alike, drenching us, stupefying us. to be carnally minded is life!
