"In my beginning is my end. In succession / Houses rise and fall, crumble, are extended, / Are removed, destroyed, restored, or in their place / Is an open field, or a factory, or a by-pass." The first three lines of East Coker. As we were going over the material for this first exam, I became aware that I'm really getting familiar with the Four Quartets. I knew what the beginning of Dry Salvages, when the Dr. asked us to recite it. And I still am obsessed with Little Gidding, its talk of summer, nature, fire, and purpose and exploration are intriguing to me. I want to keep reading, it over and over again, until makes sense, or maybe until it makes no sense at all, anyway, I love reading it because it keeps me in the now. I had no idea this class who effect me so, I feel like I'm uncovering new things everyday, in literature, and my mind. Emergent Lit is my Wonderland, and I feel so many fantastic colors, now, but I hope I will feel them forever, and the only way that will happen is if I never let reading and writing leave my life.
