Little Gidding: T.S. Eliot's Journey to New Life and Love
Monday, March 8
9 am -10:30 am PST
​$22.00

A 90 minute lecture on the influence of Beethoven, Dante, Julian of Norwich, Hindu philosophy, George Herbert and the Little Gidding community on saving the life and healing the spirit of the 20th century's greatest poet.



With the drawing of this Love and the voice of this Calling We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always--
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flames are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.

(The last movement of :Little Gidding)

​You may wish to watch/listen to  the video of Beethoven's String Quartet Op. 131 before class to enrich  deepen your appreciation of the background of this lecture
