Paper Summary:
This paper discusses universal consciousness versus individual consciousness in T. S. Eliot's poems "Four Quartets." He quotes whole stanzas from all of these poems. He discusses the limits imposed by language of human endeavors in "The Dry Salvages" discussing how the poet's life is always a part of a larger human consciousness, vis-a-vis God and suffering.From the Paper:
"If there is ambiguity to Eliot's poetic project of attempting to encapsulate the limits of human endeavors into the limited medium of human language, this is intensified even further in "The Dry Salvages." The third section of the poem is paradoxically devoted to water and spiritual dryness. The river is called "useful," and yet also "untrustworthy." Water is fluid, yet reflects the relentless spiritual monotony of human life"Visitors who viewed this Analytical Essay also liked these:
