Review:
Published in the fiery days of World War II, Four Quartets stands as a testament to the power of poetry amid the chaos of the time. Let the words speak for themselves: "The dove descending breaks the air/With flame of incandescent terror/Of which the tongues declare/The only discharge from sin and error/The only hope, or the despair/Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre--/To be redeemed from fire by fire./Who then devised this torment?/Love/Love is the unfamiliar Name/Behind the hands that wave/The intolerable shirt of flame/Which human power cannot remove./We only live, only suspire/Consumed by either fire or fire."
About the Author:
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St Louis, Missouri, in 1888. He came to England in 1914 and published his first book of poems in 1917. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Eliot died in 1965.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. New and Revised Edition. A first impression of the first revised edition, published in 1979 (the book was first published in 1944). This edition differs from previous editions in being entirely reset with text verified by Valerie Eliot, and including an additional frontispiece illustration showing a manuscript page from "Little Gidding". ***Near fine in dark-green cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt titles are still beautifully bright, not oxidised. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases. Corners sharp. The thin boards are just very slightly flared. Internally, the book is also near fine, with no inscriptions. Perfectly clean pages that are nice and white - not tanned. No offsetting. No creases or tears. Spine tight. ***In a near fine light-green, black and red printed dustwrapper, that has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £4.95 net. The dustwrapper is complete and virtually fine, with no flaws other than a small indentation on the back panel. No creases, tears, chips or fading. ***48 pages. 226mm x 146mm. ***'For some time "Four Quartets" has not been available in hard covers; and this new edition is designed to fill the obvious gap. For it the text has been checked by Mrs. Eliot; and as a frontispiece there is a photograph of one page of the manuscript of "Little Gidding", now in the possession of Magdalene College, Cambridge, of which Eliot was an Honorary Fellow. (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***Contents: Burnt Norton; East Coker; The Dry Salvages; Little Gidding. ***A first revised edition in absolutely beautiful near fine condition. Uncommon thus. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 8634
