“ The trouble of the modern age is not merely the inability to believe certain things about God and man which our forefathers believed, but the inability to feel toward God and man as they did. A believe in which you no longer believe is something which to some extend you can understand, but when religious feeling disappears, the words in which men have struggled to express it becomes meaningless… It is equally possible that the feeling for poetry, and the feelings for poetry and the feeling which are the material of poetry, may disappear everywhere, which might perhaps help to facilitate that unification of the world which some people consider desirable for its own sake.
— TS Eliot
