| Weird Thoughts? IT IS THE SICK OYSTER WHICH POSSESSES THE PEARL. - J. A.

Take which you please,--you can never have both. - Emerson, Essays: Intellect * Moral questions immediately present themselves as questions whose solution cannot wait for sensible proof. - William James, The Will to Believe |

| I thought that all vain talk of all heretics, many as they may be, had been stopped by the Synod which was held at Nicaea. For the faith there confessed by the Fathers according to the divine Scriptures is enough by itself at once to over throw all impiety, and to establish the religious belief in Christ. Athanasius Letter to Epictetus I |

| (T.S.) Eliot died of emphysema in London on 4 January 1965. For many years he had had health problems owing to his heavy smoking, often being laid low with bronchitis or tachycardia. His body was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium. According to Eliot's wishes the ashes were then taken to St Michael's Church in East Coker, the village from which Eliot's ancestors had emigrated to America. There, a simple wall plaque commemorates him with a quote from his poem, "East Coker": "In my beginning is my end. In my end is my beginning." On the second anniversary of his death a large commemoration stone was placed on the floor of Poets' Corner in London's Westminster Abbey. The stone notes his dates, his Order of Merit, and a quotation from his poem, "Little Gidding": "the communication / Of the dead is tongued with fire beyond / the language of the living." The Hollow Men contains some of Eliot's most famous lines, most notably its conclusion: This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.

| Error, indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as, by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced (ridiculous as the expression may seem) more true than truth itself. Irenaeus Against Heresies 1.2 |
| "Ποταμοῖς τοῖς αὐτοῖς ἐμβαίνομέν τε καὶ οὐκ ἐμβαίνομεν, εἶμέν τε καὶ οὐκ εἶμεν." "We both step and do not step in the same rivers. We are and are not." HERACLITUS Paraphrased: You cannot step in the same river twice. |
