Jung wrote that the real spiritual journey was series of humiliations of the false self. I struggle to think of a poem that captures just how violent that process can be better than this Eliot piece. Absolutely astounding lines.
@Quoting_Lit The dove descending breaks the air.With flame of incandescent terror.Of which the tongues declare.The one discharge from sin and error. The only hope, or else despair.Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre—.To be redeemed from fire by fire.
