Famished Craving
the attention of others,
the fascination of the famous,
and the need for faith
Think nowHistory has many cunning passages, contrived corridorsAnd issues, deceives with whispering ambitions,Guides us by vanities. Think nowShe gives when our attention is distractedAnd what she gives, giveswith such supple confusionsThat the giving famishes the craving
T.S. Eliot, Gerontion
