FOUR QUARTETS
by
T. S. ELIOT
The four poems which make
up this volume-Burnt Norton,
East Coker, The Dry Salvages and
Little Gidding-first appeared se-
parately in this order. The first
of them, Burnt Norton, was in-
cluded by the author in his Col-
lected Poems, 1909-1935. But it
led to its three successors, and
the author wishes the four poems
to be judged as a single work.
'Throughout these poems there is also the invention of new rhythms, of unimagined possibilities in the movement of language . . . He is perhaps more original and inventive in rhythm than any other poet in English.' Delmore Schwartz
'The most original contribution to poetry that has been made in our time.' Edwin Muir
