| Introduction | //...And so each venture// Is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate// With shabby equipment always deteriorating// In the general mess of imprecision of feeling,// Undisciplined squads of emotion. And what there is to conquer// By strength and submission, has already been discovered// Once or twice, or several times, by men whom one cannot hope// To emulate—but there is no competition—// There is only the fight to recover what has been lost// And found and lost again and again: and now, under conditions// That seem unpropitious. But perhaps neither gain nor loss.// For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.// ~T.S. Eliot, "Four Quartets: East Coker" |
