Summary

This quote by T.S. Eliot questions the meaning and value of the lives we lead in the modern world. Eliot suggests that amidst the hustle and bustle of our day-to-day existence, we have lost touch with the essence of life itself.

It serves as a contemplation on the potential emptiness that can result when we prioritize the accumulation of external information instead of nurturing a meaningful and fulfilling life.
