Notes from a small island A weblog by Jonathan Ali |
Thursday, December 26, 2002 All this was a long time ago, I remember, And I would do it again, but set down This set down This: were we led all that way for Birth or Death? There was a Birth, certainly, We had evidence and no doubt. I had seen Birth and Death, But had thought they were different; this Birth was Hard and bitter agony for us, like Death, our death. We returned to our places, these Kingdoms, But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation, With an alien people clutching their gods. I should be glad of another death. - TS Eliot, "Journey of the Magi" posted by Jonathan | 6:49 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
