From T. S. Eliot’s “Little Gidding”

What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from. . .

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
