At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from or towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest or movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent or decline. Except for one point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
-from Burnt Norton, T.S. Eliot
