Generational influences
Muse #314 - we keep building and adding...
I recently read some poetry by TS Eliot and found that so much of that message was similar to one of my other famous authors - Psychologist Viktor Frankl who created Logo Therapy. The similarity is so astounding that leads me to believe that Viktor had potentially read the poetry from TS Eliot and was heavily influenced by it.
Well, one would never know, but as one reads the materials from various authors you see these patterns of thought that overlap so extensively.
Knowledge is indeed built upon the generations of previous work and each new generation is influenced by the past which has taught us a variety of things and speeded up our learning, thinking process, and perspectives. So amazingly poignant.
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
