The curse of Time, that it is above all death, comes to be cancelled out by the mystery of the divine Incarnation. The Incarnation witnesses that, above all who live in time, he is as a pure presence of eternity. ' History' says the poet, ' is a drama of moments without time'. 'Eternity, falling into time, breaks every moment' (Serpieri), but only the saint knows it and realizes it.
As in a new 'Divine Comedy', T.S. Eliot, from a hell of human care, from a desolate land without light, with great fatigue, slowly moves towards a world of innocence and joy.
