“Lady of silences
Calm and distressed
Torn and most whole”
T.S. Eliot (1888–1965) 20th century English author
Ash-Wednesday (1930)
Context: Lady of silences
Calm and distressed
Torn and most whole
Rose of memory
Rose of forgetfulness
Exhausted and life-giving
Worried reposeful
The single Rose
Is now the Garden
Where all loves end
Terminate torment
Of love unsatisfied
The greater torment
Of love satisfied
End of the endless
Journey to no end
Conclusion of all that
Is inconclusible
Speech without word and
Word of no speech
Grace to the Mother
For the Garden
Where all love ends.
Julius Streicher (1885–1946) German politician
1937 speech, quoted in "The Trial of the Germans" - Page 57 - by Eugene Davidson - History - 1997
