T S Eliot's Four Quartets - Quartet 1: "Burnt Norton"

Simple Gifts is the gift of time and freedom. It is the simple presentation of the written word spoken without commentary. Join us in ruminating on great stories, poems, history, philosophy, theology, art and science. Amidst chaos, find the “valley of love and delight,” a true simplicity, where “to bow and to bend we will not be ashamed,”  where we can ponder the greatest words ever written, turning them over and over, “till by turning, turning, we come round right.”
