My dear,

We shall not cease from exploration.

We shall continue to the ends of the country, then of the Earth, then of the galaxy. We are human, we are thirsty for know-how and are dangerously curious.

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.

To know what we were and what we now are in full knowledge, and be content.

If not, we shall surely know we have ways to go.

Falsely yours,
Thomas Stearns “T. S.” Eliot
