The Spirit of the Disciplines
The Spirit of the Disciplines is a book..n it have a poem(i think)..haha...
The dove descending breaks the air
With flame of incandescent terror
Of which tongues declare
The one discharge from sin and error
The only hope, or else despair
Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre--
To be redeemed from fire by fire.
Who then devised the torment? Love
Love is the unfamiliar Name
Behind the hands that wove
The intolerable shirt of flame
Which human power cannot remove.
We only live, only suspire
Consumed by either fire or fire.
by T.S. ELIOT, LITTLE GIDDING, IV
