Four Quartets - Rated
This collection of 4 long-form poems is challenging to read, and the allusions and images made throughout each of the works are often difficult to understand and keep track of. I would not recommend this book to many people that I know, as it is almost as opaque as The Wasteland in places and is, to be frank, quite dry to read.
However, having said that I am also compelled to say that although it is dry and the speculations are not original, the ideas that are conveyed are always interesting and, overall, the verse is beautiful if occasionally mannered.
If you are interested in this item and/or have enjoyed other modern poems then you will probably enjoy a copy this slim volume that I have carried with me for quite some time now.
A masterpiece - Rated
I am hooked, and I don`t even like poetry. At least that was what I thought before I started reading Four Quartets.
I think it can be read in two ways.
One can either read it and focus on all the beautiful pictures used; it is plenty of them, and the reason I picked it up in the first place after having heard some quotations.
Or one can dig deeper trying to figure out what Eliot meant; looking at it like a journey where nearly every sentence refers to something.
It is not an easy read, but I would highly reccomend it to anyone who has read quite an amount of books, as it simply is a masterpiece!
