Four quartets
Book • 1943
Four Quartets is a cycle of four poems by T.S.
Eliot, each titled with a place name: 'Burnt Norton,' 'East Coker,' 'The Dry Salvages,' and 'Little Gidding.
' The poems are meditations on time, redemption, and eternity, blending Eliot's Anglo-Catholicism with mystical, philosophical, and poetic elements from various traditions.
Each quartet has five sections and explores themes such as the conflict between individual mortality and the endless span of human existence, the nature of spirituality, and the relationship between the present and the past.
The work is considered Eliot's masterpiece and his clearest exposition of his Christian beliefs.
