The end is where we start from

In dialoog met de waanzinnige, de zuivere en onvervalste weg naar binnen.
Mezelf betreden is niet minder dan dat. En ik tracht met eenvoudige oprechtheid die weg te beproeven. Moet nog veel oefenen. En blijven oefenen, weet ik.

What we call the beginning is often the end
and to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from...
We shall not cease from exploration
and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate
when the last of earth left to discover
is that which was the beginning...

T.S. Elliot, 1943, Little Gidding from Four Quartets
