Four Quartets (select quotes from The Four Quartets)
T.S. Eliot

At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

“Men’s curiosity searches past and future
And clings to that dimension. But to apprehend
The point of intersection of the timeless
With time, is an occupation for the saint –
 
For most of us, there is only the unattended
Moment, the moment in and out of time.
Music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music 
While the music lasts. 
 
These are only hints and guesses,
Hints followed by guesses; 
and the rest is prayer, 
observance, discipline, thought and action. 
And right action is freedom from past and future also.

Here the impossible union
Of spheres of existence is actual,
Here the past and future
Are conquered, and reconciled,
Where action were otherwise movement
Of that which is only moved
And has in it no source of movement—
Driven by daemonic, chthonic
Powers. And right action is freedom
From past and future also.
For most of us, this is the aim
Never here to be realised;
Who are only undefeated
Because we have gone on trying;
We, content at the last
If our temporal reversion nourish
(Not too far from the yew-tree)
The life of significant soil.

lyrics

Georgie’s’ waiting on the tides
Waiting on the signals of the sea
Off to Santa Ana’s rhythms
Aching for the trumpets
of his soul’s decree

Chorus:
And somehow it's all slipping away
His odyssey to Cal-a for nia
Mother told him Never stray
from the oceanside

Georgie wanders by the nighttime waves
When the moon is brightest
Don't you tell him where to go
His wings are broken
Yet that part feels the lightest

Chorus:
And somehow it's all slipping away
His odyssey to Cal-a-for-ni-a
Father told him Never Stray
From the oceanside

Georgie dances by the bonfire
when the fires are lighted
How his mind it
darts and glows
when the spark’s ignited

Chorus:

but it all flickers away
like morning embers
and his dreams are going astray
in a hazy light….

BRIDGE:

..where…Once he saw his face
in the still waters
Of the shallow waves

Georgie’s sifting thru the ashes
searching for the tempest in a lonely room
Georgie’s waiting for the Holy Book
to show him where to wander
to reach the Holy Fools

Chorus:

but it all flickers away
his odyssey to Cal-a-for-nia-a
Mother told him never stray
From the oceanside

Outro:
Georgie’s on the tide, he’s waiting on the tides
Georgie’s on the tide, he’s waiting on the tides…

Georgie, Georgie, Georgie, Georgie, Georgie
