T.S.Eliot의 'Burnt Norton'에 나타난 宗敎的 意味 = The Religious Meaning in T.S.Eliot's 'Burnt Norton'

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Eliot is a poet of historical sense. The sense, acording to eliot, composes
a simultaneous order, and is a mind changes, and that this change is develoment
which abandons nothing en routh, signifying all the aspects of time, and
that makes writers traditional.
Even in his younger days, Eliot paid much attention to the passing of the
year, the withering of flowers, the coming of old age, and he was constantly
preoccupied with the problem of time.
Eliot expressed his conception of religion as a fragmentary unit, not as a
whole or unified deployment in the early poetry.
But we can find his fundmental attitude of religions as we apporoach his later
poems, escepially in four quartets which explored the subject of the time
and the timeless.
The union of time and timeless is, Eliot suggests, to be the paracoxical
chrisliam view of the incarnation. According to the idea of christan
Incarnation, a timeless God is of no use to us, and a temporal god would be
as much caught in the flux as we are. christianity presents us with the
conception of a timeless god substantially entering time, a paradoxical and
" impossible union" which was achieved once for all by incarnation.
And he expressed in 'Burnt Norton' that the timeless can be conquered only
through time though the timeless is very hard to catch because of the temporal world.
In some sense, we can only say to experience the Eternity, or the still
point which trancends the temporal ; it is by giving uf of our desire, by
action and suffering ; to rise up to god, but with no physical action ; and
to understand both the timeless and temporal at the same time.
