'We die with the dying:
See, they depart, and we go with them.
We are born with the dead:
See, they return, and bring us with them.'

Remembering T. S. Eliot on his birthday. Born in St Louis #OTD 1888.

A cabinet card portrait of TSE, aged about 3, holding Toby the dog, c.1891.

'Between midnight and dawn, when the past is all deception,
The future futureless, before the morning watch
When time stops and time is never ending;
And the ground swell, that is and was from the beginning,
Clangs
The bell.'

— The Dry Salvages, 1st published by Faber #OTD 1941
