Hannah Arandt

T.S Eliot 1888 (St. Louis) – 1965 (Kensington)

Free verse
To Hannah Arrant

O, Hannah, there is always this:
Between the past and the future
There is this: dead? No, but
Wanting this ‘past’, always hoping
(‘Killed by hope’) for merely a summer:
A field, a forest, the wilder, wilder flowers.
