Listen "T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets"
Episode Synopsis
I swoon with Erin and Maryn over Four Quartets. We discuss how to not let the supposed "difficulty" of this poem distract you from its very accessible power and beauty, and cover topics like time, awe, God, repetition, abstraction, music, tradition, influence, the false god of originality, the general problem of being alive and how Four Quartets can help us cope. Plus, a very special treat at minute 34 (get out your fancy headphones!).
