Satire’s Hidden Agenda

We shall not cease from deprecation
And the end of all our deploring
Will be to deride what our heart is
And love ourselves for the first time.

clue:

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
— T. S. Eliot

take oh take this clue away
