Additional quotes by T.S. Eliot
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous — Almost, at times, the Fool.
Till Human voices wake us, and we drown.
We had the experience but missed the meaning. And approach to the meaning restores the experience in a different form.
