Footfalls echo in the memory

Down the passage which we did not take

Toward the door we never opened

Into the rose-garden.


This is an excerpt from the first poem of TS Eliot’s masterpiece, “Four Quartets”. 

It is, in my opinion, the most memorable part of “Burnt Norton”.


In this episode, we’re going to meditate on the theme that Eliot presents: Regret. 


Be sure to listen to my prior episode about remorse. 

What is the one thing you regret most?

Be sure to visit my sister project, @finneranswake on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. I think you’ll really enjoy it; Finneran’s Wake is where I have deep, probing, provocative conversations with a multitude of extraordinary people from all walks of life.
