The Fringe Club goes T. S. Elliot

The Fringe Club's window quotes usually puts me in a reflection mood. This one which I first had a glimpse of a few days ago while I was on the bus on my way to work was a couple of lines from the second of T.S. Elliot's "Four Quartets":

In order to arrive at what you do not know
You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance.

It made me look for more. Here's the complete stanza:

You say I am repeating
Something I have said before. I shall say it again.
Shall I say it again? In order to arrive there,
To arrive where you are, to get from where you are not,
You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstacy.
In order to arrive at what you do not know
You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance.
In order to possess what you do not possess
You must go by the way of dispossession.
In order to arrive at what you are not
You must go through the way in which you are not.
And what you do not know is the only thing you know
And what you own is what you do not own
And where you are is where you are not.

Beautiful...
