The last two stanzas culminate and climax the poem's beauty for me, but reading it again in the past week two lines stood out quietly from all the rest. In them, Eliot talks about finding-

I came across another relevant quote when I was reading Antoine de Saint-Exupery's "Wind, Sand and Stars" yesterday morning...
"In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when thee is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away, when a body has been stripped down to its nakedness."
