About Four Quartets

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.
