"I said to my soul..."

“I said to my soul be still, and wait without hope;
for hope would be hope of the wrong thing; wait without love,
for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet fath.
But the faith, and the love, and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
so the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.”

T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
