  • Four Quartet is one of my favorite poem, especially "East Coker." I enjoy reading it aloud even though I still can't get much of the sense most of the time.

    Four Quartet is one of my favorite poem, especially "East Coker." I enjoy reading it aloud even though I still can't get much of the sense most of the time. It has the abstract beauty that features many high modernist works and maybe that's why I can still appreciate it while having no idea what it talks about.

    Perhaps it really takes time to undestand a poem, and certainly new reflections pop up everytime I read it. Or maybe they are not really "new" reflections at all because I keep feeling that they are just summoned from the unconscious, from what is often felt but not said. (That's why I feel like shouting "Yes, that's it!!" when I read it sometimes.) Just as Eliot puts: "There is only the fight to recover what has been lost/ And found and lost again and again." Reading, in this sense, has already become the fight for consciousness, for memory of life... (gibberishing now XD)

    Even though I mark this book as "finished," certainly I will still reread it again and again...

    Is this helpful?
