[Verse 1 - Spoken] **Time present and time past** **Are both perhaps present in time future,** **And time future contained in time past.** **If all time is eternally present...** **All time is unredeemable.** [Verse 2 - Spoken] **At the still point of the turning world.** **Neither flesh nor fleshless;** **Neither from nor towards;** **At the still point, there the dance is.** **But neither arrest nor movement.** [Climax] **Except for the point, the still point,** **There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.** **I can only say, *there* we have been: but I cannot say where.** **And I cannot say, how long, for that is to place it in time.** [Resolution] **And all shall be well.** **All manner of thing shall be well.**
