T. S. Eliot, arguably the greatest and most influential poet of the 20th century, did for poetry what Picasso did for painting, and Stravinsky for music - he thoroughly modernized the art form. 4QUARTETS is a meditation on existence, time, faith, love, God, even poetry itself. In fluid and ever-changing verse, Eliot dives below the surface of reality, revealing layer after layer of hidden insight and paradox. What is brought to light in 4QUARTETS is life at its fullest - frustrating, absurd, profound, mysterious, and ultimately magnificent. Though he would live for twelve years after its publication, 4QUARTETS is Eliot's last work as a poet.
