No devotee or student of Eliot should be without Paul Scofield's superlative readings of these two landmark poems. Scofield's voice is remarkable, and perfect for Eliot. The Waste Land is one of the most influential poems of the 20th. century. Erudite and allusive, it borrows from poets as diverse as Dante and Webster, and incorporates languages from German to Sanskrit. Its disillusioned tone and innovative, audocious style have made it a modern classic. Four Quartets consists of four long poems linked by common themes: 'Burnt Norton', 'East Coker', 'The Dry Salvages' and 'Little Gidding'. Symbolising the cyclical nature of life and the connections between the past and the present, they have been called Eliot's crowning poetic achievement. Paul Scofield's consummate renditions of the Waste Land and Four Quartets received huge acclaim when they were originally broadcast on BBC radio 3. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Eliot called The Waste Land a "rhythmical grumbling" and said: "To me it was only relief of a personal and wholly insignificant grouse against life. . . I wasn't even bothering whether I understood what I was saying."
But we understand, and even when we don't it doesn't matter because its such outrageously beautiful grousing.
"April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain. . . ." ( )
