Portrait of a Lady Quotes

“To find a friend who has these qualities,
Who has, and gives
Those qualities upon which friendship lives.”
― T.S. Eliot, Portrait of a Lady

“—And so the conversation slips
Among velleities and carefully caught regrets
Through attenuated tones of violins
Mingled with remote cornets
And begins.”
― T.S. Eliot, Portrait of a Lady
