'O my soul, be prepared for the coming of the Stranger,
...
Though you forget the way to the Temple,
There is one who remembers the way to your door:
Life you may evade, but Death you shall not.
You shall not deny the Stranger.'
T.S.Eliot #Poetry #FaustianFriday #skullFriday

Some one came knocking
At my wee, small door; ...
But nought there was a-stirring

Tap-tapping in the wall,
Only from the forest
The screech-owl’s call ...
—Walter de la Mare
