S. Eliot’s “Little Gidding.” Inscribed in Little Gidding (the site of Nicholas Ferrar’s religious community) is Eliot’s self-consciously constructed identity as classicist, royalist, and anglo-catholic and the place is envisioned to be in and out of time simultaneously, both historical and transcendental in the way the human and the divine intersect in the Incarnation. As a matter of fact, the poem begins with a miraculous seasonal intersection (“Midwinter spring”), which constitutes a paradox so characteristic of the poem as a whole. “Little Gidding” is, indeed, a poem of intersections, and the figure of paradox consistently functions at the rhetorical and thematic levels. As a poem of World War II, “Little Gidding” cannot help but witness to the fall of human civilization symbolically represented in the death of the four elements but ultimately embraces the Christian vision of Julian of Norwich (“All shall be well, and / All manner of thing shall be well”). The vision can be realized when the symbols of fire and rose become one, a union made possible, if we follow this purgatorial poem’s argument, through extremely rigorous self-reflection and purification.","PeriodicalId":413558,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the T.

T. S. Eliot’s Objective Poetics and the Locus of Emotion 艾略特的客观诗学与情感轨迹

S. Eliot’s objective poetics. Eliot is best known as the promulgator of modern poetics of objectivity in contrast to the Romantic conception of poetry emphasizing subjective feelings. Specifically, along with “an objective correlative,” “impersonality,” defined as “escape from emotion” or “escape from personality,” becomes the watchword identifying the objectivity of his poetic theory. The problem is that the subsequent Modernist reception of Eliot’s poetics contains misunderstanding it as if it disregarded the emotional aspect of poetry. But, actually, Eliot affirms emotion and personality as the essential poetic experiences over and over again throughout his essays on poetry. And even in those scholars who have recognized that affirmation, the problem lies, too: they are at a loss, looking on Eliot’s acknowledgment of both personality and impersonality as a contradiction. In an attempt to solve these problems, my thesis has raised and justified the argument that Eliot, in his basic premise, allocates “impersonality” in the sphere of the poetic technique of creation and “personality” or “emotion” in the locus of the poetic content. By finding the locus of emotion in another poetic sphere than the objective technique, my argument has concomitantly clarified that Eliot’s conceptions of personality and impersonality are not contradictory at all but consistent over the critical writings published throughout his career.","PeriodicalId":413558,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the T.

The death of his first wife and the separation of Hale made him recognize the evil and sin of his Anglo-Catholic faith and creed handed down by Catholic religious tradition. Only Agatha of Harry’s family recognized that the sin of his family(original sin) was inherited to Harry’s conscience through Bergson’s mechanical memory. Harry perceived sin of his family through the aid of Agatha. Eliot’s self-consciousness of doing evil to Vivien Haigh-Wood and Emily Hale made him choose the way of purgatory. Bergson’s pure memory enabled him to be free from the sin of the past because of being cut off from the consciousness of the past. He had to choose purgatory way purifying his sin in search of Anglo-Catholic’ faith and creed. Now to be purged of sin, Harry had to undergo the way of self-surrender of Anglo-Catholic’ faith and Creed. Harry chose a way sinners must undergo to get salvation. After Harry purged the sin of his family, he could reach a still point free from the purgatory, which was negative way of redemption in Anglo-Catholicism.","PeriodicalId":413558,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the T.

Nirvana Samatha and T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets 涅槃萨玛塔和t.s.艾略特的《四个四重奏》

By mixing individual sensibility and intelligence with thoughts of Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism, the poem atriculates the themes in phrases and sentences with various connotative and contradictory meanings. Typical examples include phrases such as “The first world”, “Rose garden”, “Midwinter spring”, “Zero summer”, “A white light still and moving”, and a sentence “At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; / Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, / But neither arrest nor movement.” These connotative and contradictory meanings would be hard to understand by common readers. Foregrounding Nirvana Samatha in Buddhism as a main subject of Four Quartet, this article delves into the sub-themes such as time(world of phenomenon), eternity, and salvation(redeption). As a Christian poet, Eliot presents Christ/God as the redeemer of humanity in diverse and, even, contradictory ways in the poem. The Lord becomes the end point toward which sufferings human being strive to save themselves, and the archytype of human redemption. Ways to go toward the Lord include repentance, prayer, emptying, humility, and practicing love. Buddhism’s nirvana is much similar to this, but seems a little different from Christianity in the method of seeking. Nirvana is based on internal inquiry. But Both of them are ultimately equal in that they are based on salvation for the eternal happiness of mankind. The ending of the poem, where a fire and a rose become one, visually signifies that humanity can be redeemed by empting herself and loving each other genuinely, and exemplies a poetic expression that unites the religious redemption of the East and the West.","PeriodicalId":413558,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the T.
