Suspension of Disbelief

Easter was Sunday. The dog is splitting open from chunks having been cut out of her and then inexpertly re-sewn. There’s a stew of news. All bad. This is what Eliot said, for Good Friday:

After the torchlight red on sweaty faces

After the frosty silence in the gardens

After the agony in stony places

The shouting and the crying

Prison and palace and reverberation

Of thunder of spring over distant mountains

He who was living is now dead

We who were living are now dying

With a little patience
