Summary

When a poet's mind is perfectly equipped for its work, it is constantly amalgamating disparate experience.

T. S. Eliot, Selected Essays, 1917–1932

For none is perfect but the uncreated who is God. As far as man is concerned, he must be created and when created he must receive growth, and having grown he must become adult, and being adult he must abound, and having abounded he must grow strong, and having grown strong he must be glorified, and being glorified he must see his lord: for it is God who must one day be seen and the vision of God produces immortality and ‘immortality brings one close to God’ (Wisdom 6:19).
