What we know of other
people
What
we know of other people
Is only our memory of the moments
During which we
knew them. And they have changed since then.
To pretend that they and we are
the same
Is a useful and convenient social convention
Which must sometimes
be broken. We must also remember
That at every meeting we are meeting a
stranger.
From "The Cocktail
Party" by T. S. Eliot.
