Excerpt from Eliot’s ‘Cocktail Party’
September 13th 2006 12:28
Ah, but we die to each other daily
What we know of other people
Is only our memory of the moments
During which we knew them. And they have changed
since then.
To pretend that they and we are the same
Is a useful and convenient social convention
Which must sometimes broken. We must also remember
That at every meeting we are meeting a stranger.
