And God said / Prophesy to the wind, to the wind only for only / The wind will listen.

Because I know that time is always time
And place is always and only place
And what is actual is actual only for one time
And only for one place
I rejoice that things are as they are and
I renounce the blessèd face
And renounce the voice
Because I cannot hope to turn again
Consequently I rejoice, having to construct something
Upon which to rejoice

thomas stearns eliot, religion, poetry, lit & history 1902-1950
