A farewell in 'the time kept city'

Preaching at the funeral service of Margaret Thatcher Bishop of London Richard Chartres quoted TS Eliot: "What we call the beginning is often the end / And to make an end is to make a beginning. / The end is where we start from."

Michael Billington writing in yesterday's Guardian on Margaret Thatcher's funeral was reminded of another line from Eliot's Four Quartets: "human kind cannot bear very much reality".
