CSL Quote needed about "Home"

External Since: Oct 17, 2004 Posts: 2

All,
I have searched the internet in vain for a quote I am fairly certain is
from C.S. Lewis. It goes something like this:

"After all of our searching and striving, we return home only to discover
it anew."

If anyone knows where I may find this quote and/or the actual wording of
it, I would greatly appreciate it. Many thanks.

I don't know if Lewis said that, but T.S. Eliot wrote this which is very
close:

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.
