MY FIRST ALLEGIANCE IS NOT TO A FLAG, A COUNTRY, OR A MAN
MY FIRST ALLEGIANCE IS NOT TO DEMOCRACY OR BLOOD
IT'S TO A KING AND A KINGDOM
Love is most nearly itself/ When here and now cease to matter./ Old men ought to be explorers/ Here or there does not matter/ We must be still and still moving/ Into another intensity/ For a further union, a deeper communion/ Through the dark cold and the empty desolation.../ In my end is my beginning. --T.S. Eliot, The Four Quartets: East Coker
