Burn Norton. Burn Norton.

I

Now and past time

Both are representations of time, and the future may exist in the future.

Time in the past contains time in the future. And the future time is contained in the past.

If all time exists forever, if all time exists forever.

All time is irreversible. All the time cannot be cashed.

What may be a bee is an abstraction and should be an abstraction.

Keeping a permanent possibility keeps a permanent possibility,

Only in the speculative world. Only in the world of thinking.

What can happen and what has happened should be like this.

Point to the end that always exists. Point to the same endpoint, always now.

Footsteps echoed in memory.

Along the corridor where we have no choice.

Towards the door we never opened, towards the door we never opened.

Walk into the rose garden. My words echoed into the rose garden. My words

So, in your opinion. That's it, echoing in your heart.

But for what purpose, but for what purpose?

Disturb the dust on a bowl of rose leaves?

I don't know. I don't know.

Other echo other echo

Perched in the garden. Should we follow? Perched in this garden. Should we keep up?

Come on, said the bird, find them, find them, come on, said the bird, find them, find them,

At the corner. Go through the first door and turn a corner. Go through the first door,

Entering our first world, should we follow into our first world?

Thrushcross deception? Into our first world. Listen to that thrush's deception? Into our first world.

There they are, noble, invisible, there they are, noble, noble, invisible,

Move without pressure, over dead leaves, move lightly on dead leaves,

In the heat of autumn, through the vibrant air, in the sultry autumn, through the transpiration air,

Birds call and respond, birds sing and respond.

Music hidden in the bushes that can't be heard, silent music hidden in the bushes,

Invisible eyes pass through roses, and invisible eyes sweep through roses.

Looks like an ornamental flower. There is a painted face in front of me.

They are our guests, accept and accept. They were there as guests and were received by us.

So we moved, and they, in a formal mode, so we walked around, and they, too, lined up in a rigid queue.

Along the empty alley, into the frame, along the empty alley, into the patio (what does the frame mean? ),

Overlooking the dry pool. Overlooking the dried-up pond.

Dry pool, dry concrete, brown edge, dry pond, hardened cement, charred pool edge,

The pond is full of water from the sun, but the pond is full of water from the sun.

Lotus quietly, quietly, lotus quietly, quietly,

The light in my heart is shining on the water, and the light in my heart is shining on the water of the pool.

They are behind us, reflected in the pool. They are behind us, reflected in the pool.

Then a cloud passed and the pool was empty. Then a cloud floated by and the pool was empty.

The bird said, go, because the leaves are full of children. The bird said, go, because the leaves are full of children.

Hidden excitement, contained laughter. Hiding excitedly, with restrained laughter.

Go, go, go, bird says: human go, go, go, bird says: human.

Can't bear too much reality. Can't stand too much truth.

Past time and future time

What can happen and what has happened should be like this.

Point to the end that always exists. Point to the same endpoint, always now.
