Closing Words by T.S. Elliot
What we call a beginning is often the end, and to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. 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. What we call a beginning is often the end, and to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.
