“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”
-TS Eliot
and,
“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.”
-JRR Tolkien
and, of course,
“…my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.”
-Tennyson, “Ulysses”
Thanks dear Eduardo, for these conversations from such fine authors! Someone else said it reminded them of Tolkein, and I didn’t know quite what she meant. Now I do!
Hugs to you
