Talk:Four Quartets

Well, here it is. Very polishable and perfectible, but I think this poem requires a long article. It may not be Eliot's most important (The Waste Land has influenced XXth Century Literature much more), but it is what he considered his masterpiece. Anyway, hope you like it.

The article claims there is Buddhist thought and symbolism in Four Quartets. Where? I fear the author may have confused it with The Waste Land, which was composed in a time closer to Eliot's Sanskrit studies at Harvard and includes a section titled "The Fire Sermon." There is, as far as I can tell, no Buddhist content in Four Quartets. However, there is Hindu thought, for The Dry Salvages aludes to the Bhagavad Gita.
- I mistook Hindu thought for Buddhism due to my little knowledge... :(. I'll change the word. Pfortuny 20:43, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)
