„Because these wings are no longer wings to flyBut merely vans to beat the airThe air which is now thoroughly small and drySmaller and dryer than the willTeach us to care and not to careTeach us to sit still. Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our deathPray for us now and at the hour of our death.“

— T.S. Eliot
