Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot, read by Ted Hughes
With its intricate structure and reverberative imagery, Four Quartets is the culminating achievement of T.S. Eliot's career. Its greatness is done full justice in this rendition by the late Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes.
Containing some of the most melodic passages in modern poetry, Four Quartets blends the religious, the philosophical and the personal themes that preoccupied T.S. Eliot, the four parts, Burnt Norton, East Coker, The Dry Salvages and Little Gidding are interconnected both by theme and symbol. A poem of war, of Christianity, of literature and of history, Four Quartets speaks for a whole generation and is an enduring masterpiece.
