“The Hollow Men,” T.S. Eliot

My dear friend, Loren Wiebe reminded me that yesterday was T.S. Eliot’s birthday. Here are a few of my favorite lines from “The Hollow Men.”

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long
