The Higher Dream

Redeem/The time. Redeem/The unread vision in the higher dream.... T.S.Eliot, 'Ash Wednesday, IV' I I will be honest to a fault: I have lost the thread that connected so many necessary things. Now they flap in every passing wind. Greatness is no longer theirs. II How long will it take for the good things to return to their places and resume the whirling motion of the universe in harmony? III Just assume with me that we are on a pilgrimage that will make us better people. We are nearing our destination. Why are we so slow? Why are we not hastening? IV Words are readily available to believers and to seekers. They have been tarnished by the base uses of base men. Let us restore their primal purity.
