Quote by TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot, Four
I said to my soulBe stillAnd wait without hopeFor hope would be hope for the wrong thingAnd wait without loveFor love would be love of the wrong thingThere is yet faithBut the faith and the hope and the loveAre all in the waitingAnd do not thinkFor you are not ready for thoughtSo the darkness shall be the lightAnd the stillnessThe dancing
