Eliot: perfect systems

Read part of this quotation in an article questioning what would happen if all politicians and laws were just right - would we have the life we want?

They constantly try to escape
From the darkness outside and within
By dreaming of systems so perfect that no one will need to be good.

But the man that is shall shadow
The man that pretends to be.


TS Eliot
