Sudden in a shaft of sunlight Even while the dust · T. S. Eliot

Garlic and sapphires in the mud Clot the bedded ax

Sudden in a shaft of sunlight Even while the dust moves There rises the hidden laughter Of children in the foliage Quick now, here, now, always— Ridiculous the waste sad time Stretching before and after.

Children Happiness and Joy
