T. S. Eliot (2014). “Christianity and Culture”, p.57, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

T.S. Eliot (1950). “Selected Essays”

A wrong attitude towards nature implies, somewhere, a wrong attitude towards God, and that the consequence is an inevitable doom. For a long enough time we have believed in nothing but the values arising in a mechanized, commercialized, urbanized way of life: it would be as well for us to face the permanent conditions upon which God allows us to live upon this planet.

T. S. Eliot
Attitude, Long, Environmental

It may be observed that the natural life and the supernatural life have a conformity to each other which neither has with the mechanistic life...A wrong attitude towards nature implies, somewhere, a wrong attitude towards God...[We should] struggle to recover the sense of relation to nature and to God.

T. S. Eliot
Attitude, Struggle, May
