"The Inner Light" and The Four Quartets

One passage from the Four Quartets that reminded me of something from the Star Trek episode we watched in class was on page 15. It goes "The dance along the artery The circulation of the lymph Are figured in the drift of stars Ascend to summer in the tree We move above the moving tree In light upon the figured leaf And hear upon the sodden floor Below, the boarhound and the boar Pursue their pattern as before But reconciled among the stars." This reminded me of the episode because they planted a tree in the center of their city that represented life (Ascend to summer in the tree We move above the moving tree) they all looked to the tree for hope. Also they studied the stars and were able to determine that their time was coming to an end (The dance along the artery The circulation of the lymph Are figured in the drift of stars) They could see their life in the stars. And in the end they all "reconciled among the stars".
