Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot

5.0

---

Time is never time at all.. so says Billy Corgan, but T.S. Eliot says it so much better. This feeds into my fascination with the incongruity of the way we measure time and the way we experience it. Eliot's poetry is wrenching in its dry, painstaking passion. Those are descriptions that shouldn't go together; yet somehow in this volume, he manages to bring it all together. the poetry reflects a man who alternately chafes against, and accepts his finity.
