“Love is most nearly itself When here and now cease to matter. Old men ought to be explorers Here or there does not matter We must be still and still moving Into another intensity For a further union, a deeper communion Through the dark cold and the empty desolation, The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters Of the petrel and the porpoise.”
Quote by T. S. Eliot
Work
Cuatro cuartetos: Precedido por La roca y Asesinato en la Catedral
This volume brings together T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets, a series of meditative poems that examine the nature of time, memory, and the search for meaning, along with two earlier pieces: The Rock, a pageant play, and Murder in the Cathedral, a verse drama about the martyrdom of Thomas Becket. The poems in Four Quartets—Burnt Norton, East Coker, The Dry Salvages, and Little Gidding—are known for their philosophical depth and lyrical beauty, each drawing on a specific location and season to reflect on human experience and divine presence. more
