Full reading of a set of poems first published between 1936 and 1942, and published together as Four Quartets in 1943.
Jeremy Irons' reading of 'Four Quartets' is as much of a great contribution to poetry as T. S. Eliot's writing of it.
I wish Jeremy should read more of great modern poetry.
You may enjoy his recording of 'The Return of the Native' by Thomas Hardy. He is the perfect voice, for rendering the dark and sombre majesty of the heath.
I listen as I read along.
That's a great way to study this piece of work.
Irons is wonderful.
I always liked Lovesong of J Alfred Prufrock
Very nice thank you sir! 👍 👍
I wish I could have this man 😔
Thanks.

My love voice
My favorite poem by Eliot, along with Ash-Wednesday. A fine reading, but I prefer Eliot's deadpan.
It's great that Eliot recorded quite a few of his poems. It would be hard to argue that anyone has outdone his own reading, but I like this one for its clear recording and the pacing which allows one to reflect a bit more on certain words/parts, imo.
P.S. fant og joina kanalen din på tgram, kan du se meg der og kontakte meg på det viset? Hadde vært hyggelig! Evt. kan du legge igjen brukernavnet ditt her og slette det igjen når jeg har sett det. Mulig det går an å bare søke meg opp også nå, skjønner meg ikke helt på det.
O dark dark dark
They all go into the dark
Can someone give me a time stamp for the "flowers that have been looked at"?

@@Althom1990 Thank you!
You probably know of Burbank with a Baedeker: Bleistein with a Cigar as well
I didn't, but the first article that comes up when looking it up is very interesting, ha. I'm not really well read when it comes to Eliot. Always liked your screen name btw. Very good.
@@Vingul thanks, total philosophical/cultural war lol.
He was friends with Ezra Pound who wrote Canto XLV another good poem that’s in some ways similar. Ezra Pound was in jail with Emmett Till’s father in Italy during WWII and Bob Dylan wrote a song about Emmett. Yeah that issue is very interesting, we’re watching the unfolding of a massive saga and I’d love to see how the saga ends at the End Days, who was right and who was wrong, very strange. They could be the ones that are right, idk
@@voltairedentotalenkrieg5147 Haha. Aye, I knew about Pound being jailed with Till's father in Italy (and the treatment Pound had in that cage etc, horrible). Also that Pound whittled The Waste Land down to what we now have, but I haven't read that yet either (to my shame, I know).
If by "they" you mean who I think you mean, I'm pretty confident they are not in the right ;)
Stop with the ads in between please
I can’t do anything about that, I haven’t monetised the channel. Sorry to hear that you get ads. I can only recommend you get AdBlock but I’m afraid it doesn’t work if you’re listening on a phone.
Ads disappear with a Premium YOUTube description. Well worth it
Just PAY the 5¢ and stop bitching and moaning......Cheers from Acapulco!
