Between the action and deed lies the shadow...

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Poetry : One Thread

I thought that this was from The Wasteland, but it's not. Does anyone know who wrote it? Eliot, Lawrence? What poem?

Thanks

"Between the idea/And the reality/Between the motion/And the act/Falls the Shadow"

It's from The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot.
