The "Four Quartets" were first published individually from 1936 to 1942, and in book form in 1943. Eliot's masterpiece reveals the cyclical nature of life through images and themes interlaced throughout the four poems.

Four Quartets is a set of four poems written by T.S. Eliot that were published individually over six years - Burnt Norton (1936), East Coker (1940), The Dry Salvages (1941), and Little Gidding (1942). These poems are meditative reflections on the themes of time, perspective, humanity, and the divine.
