At the still pointtof the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement. And do' not call it tixity, Where past.and future are gathered. Neither movement from no'r towards, Neither a'scent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance. I can only say. there we have been: but I cannot say where. And I cannot say, how long, for that is to place it in time. The inner freedom from practical desire, The release from action and suffering, relela's'e from the inner And the outer compulsion, yet surrounded By a grace of sense, a white light still and moving. Erhebung without motion, concentration Without elimination, both a new world And the old made explicit, understood In the completion of its partial ecstasy, The resolution of its partial horror Yet the enchainment of past and future Woven in the Weakness of the changing body, Protects mankind from heaven and damnation Which flesh cannot endure. Time past and time future Alldw but at little consciousness. To be conscious in not to be in time But only in time can the moment in the rose-garden. The moment in the arbour where the rain beat, The moment in the draughty church at smoke fall 'Be remembered; involved with the past and the future. Only through time time is conquered. T. 8. Eliot
