Four Quartets
Captions available
The idea
Four Quartets is a set of four long meditative poems, beginning with Burnt Norton, first published as a series by Faber between nineteen forty and nineteen forty-two. They reflect Eliot's Christian faith and meditate on time. The course describes them and does not quote them.
In practice
Four meditations on time and faith.
Where people slip
Late Eliot is religious and meditative.
