Problem

Let $\displaystyle ABCD$ be a quadrilateral, and let $\displaystyle  E$ and $\displaystyle F$ be points on sides $\displaystyle AD$ and $\displaystyle BC$, respectively, such that $\displaystyle AE/ED = BF/FC$. Ray $\displaystyle FE$ meets rays $\displaystyle BA$ and $\displaystyle CD$ at $\displaystyle S$ and $\displaystyle T$ respectively. Prove that the circumcircles of triangles $\displaystyle SAE, SBF, TCF,$ and $\displaystyle TDE$ pass through a common point.
