I am with Eliot:

ever starting again–around

and around, and around,

and back to where it began,

back to the routine days,

and the same dull ways

of yore that circumscribe

this life–a history etched out

in circles that start so well,

then swirl down and

down and down,

and back to the ground

whence it began.
