Four Quartets is a set of four poems written by T. S. Eliot that were published over a six-year period. The first poem, Burnt Norton, was published with a collection of his early works (1936's Collected Poems 1909–1935).
The central discussion within the poem is on the nature of time and salvation. Eliot emphasises the need of the individual to focus on the present moment and to know that there is a universal order.

Memorial plaque in St Michael and All Angels' Church, East Coker. In 1939 T. S. Eliot thought that he would be unable to continue writing poetry.
