“In order to arrive there, To arrive where you are, to get from where you are not, You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy. In order to arrive at what you do not know You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance. In order to possess what you do not possess You must go by the way of dispossession. In order to arrive at what you are not You must go through the way in which you are not. And what you do not know is the only thing you know And what you own is what you do not own. And where you are is where you are not.’ -T.S. Eliot Four Quartets” — Renee Beck
In order to arrive there,
To arrive where you are,
to get from where you are not,
You must go by a way
wherein there is no ecstasy.
In order to arrive at what
you do not know
You must go by a way
which is the way of ignorance.
In order to possess what
you do not possess
You must go by the way of
dispossession.
In order to arrive at what
you are not
You must go through the
way in which you are not.
And what you do not
know is the only thing
you know
And what you own is what
you do not own.
And where you are is
where you are not.’
-T.S. Eliot
Four Quartets
