T. S. Eliot Quotes:

Ocupation: Playwright

Life: September 26, 1888 - January 4, 1965

Birthday: September 26

Death: January 4

Now that lilacs are in bloom She has a bowl of lilacs in her room And twists one in her fingers while she talks. "Ah, my friend, you do not know, you do not know What life is, you who hold it in your hands"; (slowly twisting the lilac stalks) "You let it flow from you, you let it flow, And youth is cruel, and has no remorse And smiles at situations which it cannot see." I smile, of course, And go on drinking tea.

- T. S. Eliot
