And ne'er the twain shall meet
Humankind cannot bear very much reality. —T.S. Eliot
Eliot was right.
It ended with a whimper
and not with a bang.

Happy birthday to poet, essayist, and playwright T.S. Eliot, born on this day (September 26) in 1888.
Who famously once said, “Books. Cats. Life is good.” Enough said.
The circle of our understanding
Is a very restricted area.
Except for a limited number
Of strictly practical purposes
We do not know what we are doing;
And even then, when you think of it,
We do not know much about thinking.

- #TSEliot (born: 26 September 1888)
“Let us go then, you and I,/ When the evening is spread out against the sky/ Like a patient etherized upon a table;/ Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,/ The muttering retreats/ Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels/ And sawdust restaurants...” - #TSEliot (b: 26 September 1888)
Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
