Burnt Norton 1

TS Eliot's "Burnt Norton" (the first of the Four Quartets) put to music and image. The images are not strictly keyed to those in the poem, but are allusive and suggestive. Since Eliot is said to have based his Quartets on the late quartets of Beethoven, the music throughout is the long and heartbreaking adagio from #15, Op. 132 in A minor. Perhaps this is the way in which the poem needs to be experienced.

Michael, this is a neat blending, putting parts of the Beethoven slow movement against Eliot's lines and shots of the Bridgers and of trees, etc. I laud your interdisciplinarity--something I love and try out myself upon occasion. Sure want you to see my Mt. St. Helens "show." OAW
