Four Quartets by TS Eliot | The Great Poems Of All Time

  • Summary

  • Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888 - 1965) was an Anglo-American poet.


    A devout Christian, Eliot was an important figure in the Modernist movement that sprang to life in the first quarter of the 20th century.


    "Four Quartets", a uniquely sublime work by which all his other poems are eclipsed, addresses the theme of time.


    It's a theme on which, as you doubtless know, so many of our meditations here on Pneuma are based.


    I think that you'll enjoy it.
