healer quotes

  • The wounded surgeon plies the steel That questions the distempered part; Beneath the bleeding hands we feel The sharp compassion of the healer's art Resolving the enigma of the fever chart.

    -T(homas) S(tearns) Eliot
      Four Quartets,'East Coker', pt.4.

  • You cannot face it steadily, but this thing is sure, That time is no healer: the patient is no longer here.

    -T(homas) S(tearns) Eliot
