The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first. Find us on these platforms or reach out to our newsroom at news@ gainesvilletimes.com or 770-718-3435. CELEBRIS REPORT T. S. Eliot letters to muse to be unveiled after 60 years After more than 60 years spent sealed up in a library storage facility, about 1,000 letters written by poet T.S. Eliot to con fidante Emily Hale will be unveiled this week, and scholars hope they will reveal the extent of a relationship that’s been speculated about for decades. Many consider Hale to not only be his close friend, but also his muse, and they hope their correspondence will offer insight into the more intimate details about Eliot’s life and work. Students, researchers and scholars can read the let ters at Princeton University Library start ing Thursday. “I think it’s perhaps the literary event of the decade,” says Anthony Cuda, an Eliot scholar and director of the T.S. Eliot Inter national Summer School. “I don’t know of anything more awaited or significant. It’s momentous to have these letters coming out.” Lifelong friends, Hale and Eliot exchanged letters for about 25 years beginning in 1930. The two met in 1912 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but did not rekindle their friendship until 1927. Eliot was already living in England and Hale taught drama at U.S. universities, includ ing Scripps College in California. In 1956, Hale donated the letters under an agreement they wouldn’t be opened until 50 years after either her or Eliot’s death, whichever came second. Eliot died in 1965. Hale died four years later. Biographers say Eliot ordered Hale’s letters to him to be burned. Their relationship “must have been incredibly important and their correspon dence must have been remarkably inti mate for him to be so concerned about the publication,” Cuda says. T.S. Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1888 and gained notoriety as a poet early in life. He was only 26 when “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” became his first professionally published poem. Eliot’s 1939 book of whimsical poetry, “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats,” was adapted into “Cats,” the award-win ning musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The play opened in London first in 1981 and then on Broadway the next year. It was then turned into a feature film star ring an ensemble cast that includes Judi Dench and James Corden just released in December. His best known works include “The Waste Land,” “The Hollow Men” and “Four Quartets.” The first poem in the “Quartets” series, called “Burnt Norton,” piques the inter est of enthusiasts of the poet, says Eliot scholar Frances Dickey, because of lines that suggest missed opportunities and what might have been with his muse. The poem is named after a home in England that Eliot visited with Hale in 1934. “His relationship with her seems to be deep and meaningful and it’s a door he chose not to open,” she said.

You’re happy about being able to do the things that you once couldn’t. The list includes new items and ones that go way back. Never forget that there was a time when you couldn’t even hold up your own head. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you can arrange to be in a crowd, it will be a helpful and healthful perspective shift for you. You’ll like seeing how many do things just like you do, and likely feel and think similarly, too. Talking to new people will be lucky. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don’t worry if you find your self out of your element. The fact of the matter is that there are a lot of people who know what they are talking about, but far fewer people who know when it’s wiser not to be talking at all. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sure, there are days when your requests get into the rotation. But for the most part, life plays its own mu sic. You’ve little control over which song comes next and a lot of control over how you’ll dance to it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The answer is “no” to 100% of the questions that are never asked. Questions are like keys to you today and will require a similar finesse, so don’t be afraid to give them a jiggle and a twist. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes the way to win is to play harder and smarter and sometimes the way to win is not to play at all. Take a step back for the big strategy, the one that goes beyond this game. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). These are dicey times, with divided opinions being the norm even in your immediate circle. Luckily, your diplomacy allows you to make a point without making an enemy. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your dreams can be your wings, but only if you bring them into the real world and involve other people. Other wise, your dreams are more like a virtual reality headset that keeps you isolated in what is ultimately a lonely experience. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s something good in every day, but more things good about today. You’ll want to keep track of this; take some time to write about it or snap a pic you can look back later to bask in the emotional sunshine. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your heart is calm and your creativity is lit. It is no coinci dence that these things are happening simultaneously. Being creative is a state so essential to your well-being that you should visit as often as possible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Validation is for parking, not lunching or dating or working. You need so much less of it than you once did and you like to try and make others com fortable so they are not seeking so much of it from you either. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You wouldn’t dream of watch ing another person struggle while knowing full well you could do something about it. And why shouldn’t you expect the same? Maybe it’s time to pitch out the ones who don’t pitch in.
