Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled
About the center of the silent Word. –T.S. Eliot
[#Berkano #Rune, śūnyatā*]
“If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent
If the unheard, unspoken
Word is unspoken, unheard;
Still is the spoken word, the Word unheard,
The Word without a word, the Word within
The world and for the world;
And the light shone in the darkness and
Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled
About the center of the silent Word. [Open-To-Be]
Oh my people, what have I done unto thee.
Where shall the word be found, where shall the word
Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence”
T. S. ELIOT, Ash-Wednesday 1930
