Sorry if this is a repeat. I've posted it twice before using the
po.missouri.edu website but it doesn't get through. I'm trying email
this time.
An essay, "Plague and the comforts of history", by writer and historian
Tom Holland, begins and ends with Eliot’s Little Gidding, "Written at a
time when it seemed that Britain would lose the war, and civilisation
itself be lost to ruin."
The essay is at:

The above was lifted from the news page of the T.S. Eliot Society of the
United Kingdom.
