Forgetting was my only option

What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.

T.S. Eliot – Burnt Norton

Quick now, here, now, always—
Ridiculous the waste sad time
Stretching before and after.

T.S. Eliot – Burnt Norton
