consciousness & time

[Guest guest]

Words move, music moves

Only in time; but that which is only living

Can only die. Words after speech, reach

Into the silence. Only by the form, the pattern,

Can words or music reach

The stillness, as a Chinese jar still

Moves perpetually in its stillness.

Not the stillness of the violin, while the note lasts,

Not that only, but the co-existence,

Or say that the end precedes the beginning,

And the end and the beginning were always there

Before the beginning and after the end.

And all is always now.

 

from Four Quartets

T.S. Eliot
