Eyes That Last I Saw in Tears

(I am quoting this little poem of my Master, T. S. Eliot, for my beloved apprentice, +Franziska, with all my love...)

Eyes that last I saw in tears
Through division
Here in death's dream kingdom
The golden vision reappears
I see the eyes but not the tears
This is my affliction

  This is my affliction
Eyes I shall not see again
Eyes of decision
Eyes I shall not see unless
At the door of death's other kingdom
Where, as in this,
The eyes outlast a little while
A little while outlast the tears
And hold us in derision.

T. S. Eliot
1888-1965
Rest well, my Master

Beautiful..... just beautiful isn't it? (I relate to this piece)

Every word should be savored.. and taken to the heart....

I take it to my heart..

and it is treasured there!

For you +Steven: (I think they're 69 )
