초록
Eliot’s Four Quartets is maybe the most difficult to understand in his poems. In spite of that, Four Quartets has been studied in many respects. We can see that Four Quartets is meditative, philosophical and abstractive, but after we read it through more carefully, we can understand its meaning very well. Eliot categorizes time into three in “Burnt Norton”; past, present, future. We can apply Eliot's time to a centripetal motion. In a centripetal motion, while the pendulums below (means all things which are in the world) change constantly and irregularly, a centripetal point doesn’t do so. For Eliot, the centripetal point is Word. That is, the way up and down is the same. The status which a centripetal point and a pendulum are harmonious with each other is “still point.” For example, Eliot embodies it; “present and past time are present in future time,” “what might have been and what has been point to one end.” etc. And for the purpose of representing still point, Eliot uses such images as “axle-tree, dance, rose-garden, darkness, words and love.” These images are key words in reading and appreciating Eliot’s “Burnt Norton.” Besides, to support these images, Eliot shows “destitution of all property,” “desiccation of the world of sense,” “inoperancy of the world of spirit.” Although Eliot defines time metaphysically and abstractively, we can recognize that he makes efforts to present time more visually and concretely.
Abstract
Eliot’s Four Quartets is maybe the most difficult to understand in his poems. In spite of that, Four Quartets has been studied in many respects. We can see that Four Quartets is meditative, philosophical and abstractive, but after we read it through more carefully, we can understand its meaning very well. Eliot categorizes time into three in “Burnt Norton”; past, present, future. We can apply Eliot's time to a centripetal motion. In a centripetal motion, while the pendulums below (means all things which are in the world) change constantly and irregularly, a centripetal point doesn’t do so. For Eliot, the centripetal point is Word. That is, the way up and down is the same. The status which a centripetal point and a pendulum are harmonious with each other is “still point.” For example, Eliot embodies it; “present and past time are present in future time,” “what might have been and what has been point to one end.” etc. And for the purpose of representing still point, Eliot uses such images as “axle-tree, dance, rose-garden, darkness, words and love.” These images are key words in reading and appreciating Eliot’s “Burnt Norton.” Besides, to support these images, Eliot shows “destitution of all property,” “desiccation of the world of sense,” “inoperancy of the world of spirit.” Although Eliot defines time metaphysically and abstractively, we can recognize that he makes efforts to present time more visually and concretely.
