Desire is ful­fil­led in the delight of loving”

It’s not that I’m afraid of being hurt again:
Nothing again can either hurt or heal.
I have thought at moments that the ecs­tasy is real
Although those who expe­ri­ence it may have no rea­lity.
For what hap­pe­ned is remem­be­red like a dream
In which one is exal­ted by inten­sity of loving
In the spi­rit, a vibra­tion of delight
Without desire, for desire is ful­fil­led
In the delight of loving. A state one does not know
When awake. But what, or whom I love,
Or what in me was loving, I do not know.
And if all that is mea­nin­gless, I want to be cured
Of a cra­ving for something I can­not find
And of the shame of never fin­ding it.


T. S. Eliot
