T.S. Eliot's 'Little Gidding'
Details
This time we will conclude our reading of Four Quartets (1936-43) by T.S. Eliot (1888-1965). We will be reading the great final poem, Little Gidding (1942), a poem about fire which paradoxically can be purging as well as destructive. Its title references a village in Cambridgeshire which had been home to a religious community during the turbulent years of the English Civil War in the seventeenth century.
All are welcome. Feel free to take part by joining in discussion or simply by listening to the proceedings. The text of Little Gidding is here: https://allpoetry.com/Four-Quartets-4:-Little-Gidding
