“What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from.
Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning,
Every poem an epitaph. And any action
Is a step to the block, to the fire, down the sea’s throat
Or to an illegible stone: and that is where we start.”
- Thomas S.Eliot: Little Gidding. The Four Quartets (1942)
