Wait Without Hope
A student recalls a passage from T.S. Eliot, and the teacher recites the full lines on waiting without hope, love, or thought.
"Wait without hope, because hope would be hope for the wrong thing." And "wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought."
Yes. The full passage goes:
"I said to my soul, be still and wait.
Wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing.
Wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing.
There is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought.
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing."
