Okay, 'cause the bit I was going to suggest is from a poem that was stolen from the public domain by the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act.
Anyway. I recommend an excerpt from Part V of Burnt Norton (http://www.ubriaco.com/fq.html). I like:
...that which is only living Can only die. Words, after speech, reach Into the silence. Only by the form, the pattern, Can words or music reach The stillness, as a Chinese jar still Moves perpetually in its stillness.
