T.S. Elliot
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 or movement.
And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered.
Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline.
Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance,
and there is only the dance.

According to Faber & Faber: "Four Quartets" is the culminating achievement of T.S. Eliot's career as a poet.

The World Broke in Two is a record of how Virginia Woolf, EM Forster, TS Eliot and DH Lawrence spent the year, writing into a broken world and breaking it further. None of them is happy at the outset of the year. Projects are stalled by business or spirit; three of them have the flu. Most have the sense that aÃâà...

'In the room the women come and go / Talking of Michelangelo': the couplet that comes 12 lines into T.S. Eliot's first great poem, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915), might not encourage us to take his interest in art too seriously. The implication is that Prufrock feels that the women were engaged inÃâà...

In the late Autumn of 1921, the bank clerk poet T.S. Eliot came to Margate on doctor's orders to convalesce. He arrived in a fragile state both physically and mentally, and took a tram to sit in a Victorian Nayland Rock shelter on the seafront every day.

The connection is unexpected; it isn't usual to think of Twombly in terms of TS Eliot, his fellow American. But both are indeed epic visual poets. Edward Hopper's Night Windows puts you on eye level with a first-floor apartment, where a solitary stenographer has slipped out of her office clothes into somethingÃâà...

Eliot's seminal poem The Waste Land (1922), and Margate is certainly among them. “On Margate Sands / I can connect / Nothing with nothing”, Eliot writes—an encapsulation of the fractured, five-part, Modernist poem that was partly written inÃâà...
