“Let me show you the work of the humble. Listen.”
T.S. Eliot (1888–1965) 20th century English author
Choruses from The Rock (1934)
“Let me listen to me and not to them”
Stanzas in Meditation (1932) Stanza VII
Context: Let me listen to me and not to them

But always with prefer
And therefore I like what is mine
For which not only willing but willingly
Because which it matters. They find it one in union.
In union there is strength.
