Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden.
Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind
Cannot bear very much reality.
Time past and time future
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Time past and time future
Allow but a little consciousness.
To be conscious is not to be in time
But only in time can the moment in the rose-garden,
The moment in the arbour where the rain beat,
The moment in the draughty church at smoke-fall
Be remembered; involved with past and future.
Only through time, time is conquered.
The guests at Ms. M's table were a typical pioneer group.
The way Ms. M balanced teacups on her head proclaimed her a true artist.
She dropped no stitch at intervals along conversation,
and maintained the binding of omnivorous animals.
