h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I like it. Excellento name.

Will it all be okay in the end? I mean *here*.

Actually. From Little Gidding, by T S Elliott.


We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always—
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flame are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.


Never gonna happen...

Gone to earth, eh.
Does that mean you're Occupying your yard?

Thanks for the Eliot. He does get better with age.
Last time I tried to read that I got about five lines in
and

This time I got to the end.
Where your assessment was the necessary shock I needed.


~jwf~

'Gone to Earth' is what the huntsmen shout when the fox goes underground. Mostly the hounds will dig it out and rip to shreds but not always..

I don't see your problem with the poem..he says, 'we shall not cease from exploration, but the end of all our exploring..'

The whole thing contradiction...which is Life and process...

What's brilliant is that he can be read in 2 different directions at once..

Glad I gave you that shock though...
