Dissonance and Harmony: T.S. Eliot's "Four Quartets" Just as Four Quartets represents a departure and a new beginning for Eliot, the poem itself focuses on beginnings and endings. “East Coker” begins with the line “In my beginning is my end” and ends with the chiastic “In my end is my beginning,” (I, V). In section V of “Little Gidding,” the last section of Four Quartets, the line becomes: “What we call the beginning is often the end / And to make an end is to make a beginning. / The end is where we start from.”
By the end of the poem, the speaker extends this truth to include everyone, again drawing the reader in with the use of “we.” Eliot recognizes that life is a series of endings and new beginnings, just as the past turns into the present and the future becomes the new present. At the end of “Burnt Norton” I, a bird guides the speaker on his journey: Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind Cannot bear very much reality. Time past and time future What might have been and what has been Point to one end, which is always present.

The Crown of Thorns Like the Stigmata, the Crown of Thorns is a extraordinary mystical gift of God given to select victim souls, that they might participate more fully in union with Jesus for the conversion of sinners.
A good portion of the Stigmatics have also bore the Crown of Thorns, such as St Julian of Norwich, St Catherine of Siena, Domenica Lazzeri [who's crown of thorns puncture wounds were once counted and there were exactly 40 puncture wounds], Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich and Therese Neumann to name just a few. One very recent American mystic who lived in Woonsocket, Rhode Island named Marie Rose Ferron (1902-1936) was given the Crown of Thorns along with the Stigmata beginning in 1927. [Marie Rose Ferron is pictured with the Crown of Thorns marks visible in the photo above] Her case was studied extensively by numerous persons, including physicians, clergy and others from various backgrounds. The thorn stigmata never completely disappeared. "Oh my God and crucified Lord! Saint John of the Cross: The Dark Night of the Soul (From Spanish)
The Dark Night Of The Soul By Saint John of the Cross Translated by A.Z. Foreman Songs of the soul rejoicing at having achieved the high state of perfection, the Union with God, by way of spiritual negation. Once in the dark of night,Inflamed with love and wanting, I arose(O coming of delight!) And went, as no one knows, When all my house lay long in deep repose All in the dark went right,Down secret steps, disguised in other clothes, (O coming of delight!) In dark when no one knows, When all my house lay long in deep repose. And in the luck of nightIn secret places where no other spied I went without my sightWithout a light to guideExcept the heart that lit me from inside.
It guided me and shoneSurer than noonday sunlight over me,And lead me to the oneWhom only I could seeDeep in a place where only we could be. O guiding dark of night!

S Eliot's Four Quartets. Thomas Stearns Eliot was a set of contradictions. An American from St. Louis, he moved to England and took British citizenship. A man who had always wanted to be a poet, he studied philosophy at Harvard.
A writer who filled his poetry with Eastern philosophy, he converted to Anglicanism. What particularly satisfies about the Four Quartets is that they complete Eliot's broad spiritual landscape begun with "Prufrock," "Gerontion," and The Wasteland, poems about failure in a bankrupt universe, but with the words from the Upanishads, "Datta . . . Tradition has it that Eliot had long wanted to write a poem imitating music, an intention confirmed in his essay "The Music of Poetry. " Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past . . .
