  • SERMON: “A L Based on Part V of “East Coker” by T.S. Eliot by Dr. John Tamilio III the First Unitarian Church of St. Louis
    SERMON: “A LIFETIME BURNING IN EVERY MOMENT” Based on Part V of “East Coker” by T.S. Eliot By Dr. John Tamilio III The First Unitarian Church of St. Louis Sunday, September 27, 2015 © 2015, Dr. Tamilio I bring you greetings from the members and friends of the United Church of Christ in Canton, Massachusetts, where I serve as their Pastor, and from my colleagues at Salem State University, Endicott College, and Andover Newton Theological School where I serve as an assistant professor of philosophy, theology, and literature. I also bring words of deepest gratitude from the T.S. Eliot Society for your generosity in hosting the Sunday program that is part of our annual meeting. It is an honor to preach at the spiritual home of the young T.S. Eliot — and that of his father (Henry Ware Eliot) and his grandfather and founder (William Greenleaf Eliot) before him. It is also strange and a bit liberating to be preaching in a Unitarian Universalist Church. It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure, I must confess. As you may know, we in the United Church of Christ (the UCC) are often referred to as “Unitarians Considering Christ.” This is much better than the name that inevitably arises when someone misspells the word “united” and we become “The Untied Church of Christ.” While my theology is a bit more “traditional” than most UCC pastors, my deep affinity for anything Eliot makes us sisters and brothers of a different mother. In my tradition, the “readings” for worship always come from Scripture: the Hebrew Bible as well as the New Testament.

  • EIIRJ) ISSN 2277-8721 Bi-Monthlyelectronic Reviewed Journal July/Aug 2012
    Electronic International Interdisciplinary Research Journal (EIIRJ) ISSN 2277-8721 Bi-monthlyElectronic Reviewed Journal July/Aug 2012 T.S. ELIOT: INDIAN INFLUENCES AND HIS FAITH Dr. Asha F. Solomon Dept. of English Montfort College, Lucknow Abstract Thomas Sterns Eliot was an American by birth, but an Englishman by adoption. He grew to become a naturalized British citizen. Eliot's interest in Indian thought came largely through the influence of his teachers at Harvard. The most important influence in Eliot's Harvard days seems to have been Irving Babbitt whose system of thought was based upon the study of the Pali manuscripts, the earliest authentic Buddhist documents. In The Waste Land there are two well-known examples of Hindu influence both coming at the end of the poem in the section entitled "What the Thunder Said." At the very end we find the triple use of the word ‘shanti’ which is both Vedic in origin and Upanishad in content. It pacifies all sorts of anguish, anxiousness, hesitation, doubt of our head and makes us calm. The Christian scheme seemed the only possible scheme which found a place for values which he had to maintain or perish. , the belief, for instance, in holy living and holy dying, in sanctity, chastity, humility, austerity. He expressed the discovery of a faith that would last. He felt that modern life was rife with futility and anarchy. It was his interest in the institution of society that led him to see the importance of communal worship, and the significance of religious practice for all nations, as well as for individual souls.

ELIOT: A REVIEW OF THE LIFE AND POETRY OF THE GROUND-BREAKING MODERNIST POET Abdul Rashid Dar Taught as an Assistant Professor, Department of English (Contractual), Central University of Kashmir, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India Received: 13 Jun 2018 Accepted: 18 Jun 2018 Published: 23 Jun 2018 ABSTRACT Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965), was an American who made England his home and left behind him a wealth of influential literary works in prose, poetry, and drama. He came under the sway of contemporary European trends of art and literature and became one of the influential leaders of the modernist movement in poetry. He was a profound scholar and thinker, a product of diverse influences- literary, anthropological and philosophical. The literary influences of Elizabethan dramatists, English metaphysical, French symbolists and imagists are paramount in his poetry. As he had deeply studied the French imagist and symbolist poets, he gave imagism a dialect as well as a symbolist dimension and a tone of intellectual irony. His poetry marks a complete break from the nineteenth-century tradition. Reacting against subjectivism of romantic theory, he advocated his famous theory of impersonality of poetry. He demanded an objective authority of art and appreciated the order and completeness of classical poetry, the qualities which he tried to achieve in his own practice as a poet. His philosophy grew from continuous meditation through which he blossomed into a spiritualist.

  • A Song for Simeon” Dr
    Eliot’s Faith: “A Song for Simeon” Dr. Asha Solomon Department of English, Montfort College, Lucknow ABSTRACT T.S. Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1888. His grandfather, William Greenleaf Eliot, was a graduate of Harvard Divinity School who moved as a missionary Unitarian minister to St Louis, Mississippi, and stayed there. He was steadily fearless in the face of cholera, slavery, and the Civil War. In St Louis, he founded schools and, most famously, Washington University. Eliot published his first poetic masterpiece, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," in 1915. In 1921, he wrote the poem "The Waste Land" which is regarded as the most important poems of the 20th Century and gave a whole new genre of literature. For his lifetime of poetic innovation, Eliot won the Order of Merit and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. He died in London, England, in 1965. ‘A Song for Simeon’ first appeared in a series of Christmas booklets from Faber. Each booklet had one or two illustrations and a poem. Eliot wrote four poems for the series. Journey of the Magi, the first, appeared in August 1927, the next was A Song for Simeon. Simeon, the subject of Eliot's poem is drawn from the Bible and is found in the Gospel of Luke 2:25-35. The early Christian canticle Nunc dimittis has been derived from this passage in the Bible. Luke, the disciple of Jesus, writes an account of Simeon, an aged and devout Jew, who sees Mary and Joseph bringing infant Jesus to the Temple of Jerusalem.

  • Unitarians, Literary Ventures, and Institution Building in the Ohio Valley, 1830‐1880
    IN PURSUIT OF THE WEST: UNITARIANS, LITERARY VENTURES, AND INSTITUTION BUILDING IN THE OHIO VALLEY, 1830‐1880 A Thesis Presented in partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Megan Elizabeth McMahon, B.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Master’s Examination Committee: Dr. John L. Brooke, Adviser Dr. Andrew R. L. Cayton Dr. Susan M. Hartmann ABSTRACT Unitarians migrated to the antebellum West in small numbers. However despite their relative numerical insignificance, these optimistic men and women impacted many cultural building experiments in their new region. Unitarians traveled west to help shape the direction of the region, and by extension, the young nation as a whole. The Unitarian experience in literary ventures and institution building merit attention, both for the influence exerted in shaping the West, especially its intellectual and cultural aspect, and the relationship to Federalist refuge studies. These studies have neglected the ventures of former Federalists in the West, though this geographic chapter is imperative for understanding the retreat of Federalists into cultural institutions as a national phenomenon. ii VITA September 8, 1986………………………...Born – Fort Benning, Georgia 2004……………………………………………….High School Diploma, Ursuline Academy, Cincinnati 2007 ………………………………………………B.A. History & English Clemson University 2008‐2009………………………………........University Fellow The Ohio State University 2009‐present….………………………........Graduate

  • T.S. Eliot in Context .Pdf
    This page intentionally left blank T. S. ELIOT IN CONTEXT T. S. Eliot’s work demands much from his readers. The more the reader knows about his allusions and his range of cultural reference, the more rewarding are his poems, essays and plays. This book is carefully designed to provide an authoritative and coherent examin- ation of those contexts essential to the fullest understanding of his challenging and controversial body of work. It explores a broad range of subjects relating to Eliot’s life and career; key literary, intellectual, social and historical contexts; as well as the critical reception of his oeuvre. Taken together, these chapters sharpen critical appreciation of Eliot’s writings and present a comprehensive, composite portrait of one of the twentieth century’s pre-eminent men of letters. Drawing on original research, T. S. Eliot in Context is a timely contribution to an exciting reassessment of Eliot’s life and works and will provide a valuable resource for scholars, teachers, students and general readers. jason harding is Reader in English Studies at Durham University and Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute of English Studies, University of London.
