The world is turning classical

By Steven Schwartz - posted Friday, 15 August 2025

As T.S. Eliot wrote in Little Gidding,

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.

The world is turning classical. Not everywhere. Not all at once. But unmistakably - and just in time.
