أس.

إليوت (1888-1965) رحلته الروحية من أعماق الجحيم مرورا بالأعراف و انتهاء بالجنة.

لذا تقسم هذه القصيدة إلى خمسة أجزاء تربطها ثيمات تتكرر و تتشابك فيما بينها وصولا إلى المنشود.

كذلك تعنى قصيدة (الرباعيات الأربع) بصورة عامة بالبحث عن المعنى في ظل فوضى الحداثة و البحث عن السكينة و السلام من خلال تقدم الزمن، محاولاً الشاعر بذلك فهم طبيعة الإلوهية.

يعمد إليوت كذلك إلى فهم طبيعة الخلود لكون الحياة هي مجرد مرحلة انتقالية.

Abstract EN

In the Four Quartets (1943), T.

S.

Eliot (1888-1965) resumes his spiritual journey from the abyss of Hell, passing by Purgatory, and ending up in Paradise.

This poem is thus divided into five sections, linked by frequent themes which are developed in complex ways and are eventually resolved.

Majorly, the Four Quartets is concerned with the search for meaning in the chaos of modernism, the quest for peace and joy in the flux of time and the discovery of God in permanence.

Thence, Eliot makes of the delicate relation of the Eternal to the Transient as the central theme of the Four Quartets.

In Western classical music "a Quartet is a piece written to be played by four stringed instruments" (Sen, 264) This poem is divided into five sections, linked by recurring themes which are developed in a complex way and is then resolved.

Majorly, the Four Quartets is concerned with the search for meaning in the chaos of modernism, the quest for peace and joy in the flux of time and the discovery of God in permanence.

Thus, Eliot makes of the delicate relation of the Eternal to the Transient as the central theme of the Four Quartets.
