We have chosen four myths, three of them Pagan (Sibila, Tiresias and The Fisher King) and one Christian (The Holy Grail). The latter has a deep relationship to The Fisher King myth. We will mention theoretical concepts referring to intertextuality and myth and will present a survey of the poem as a whole. We will also report form briefly on the political-social situation of Europe at the time in which the poem was written, and the poet s main achievements in his career. Our next focus will be the analysis of the above mentioned myths as well as their function and relevance within the context of the poem. / O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a intertextualidade no poema The Waste Land, do poeta e ensaísta anglo-americano Thomas Stearns Eliot, publicado em 1922. Focaliza o mito e sua função dentro do poema. Foram escolhidos particularmente quatro mitos, três pagãos (Sibila, Tirésias e Rei Pescador) e um cristão (Santo Graal), sendo que este último tem uma relação estreita com o mito do Rei Pescador. Examinar-se-ão postulados teóricos sobre o mito, a intertextualidade e a situação político-social da Europa, na época em que Eliot compôs o poema, bem como da trajetória do poeta.

Le rapprochement du Waste Land de T. S. Eliot et de la Kasidah de R. F. Burton produit une théorie littéraire. Cette théorie est fondée sur le principe de l'Unité de la Conscience (Wahdat al Wayy) d'après l'exégèse d'Ibn Arabi (Wahdat al Wujud et Wahdat al Adyân). Elle postule également que toute vie n'est qu'un courant de conscience. L'action est une forme d'écriture de la conscience dans le monde, et l'expérience vécue est une forme d'écriture du monde dans la conscience. Or l'expression de la conscience en perspective est un invariant profond des littératures, qui relie The Waste Land et The Kasidah mais également Al Aaraaf de Poe, le Voyage de Baudelaire, le Testament de Villon ou encore le Canto Notturno de Leopardi. Un autre invariant, fondé par le précédent, est l'invariant de la gâtine, que l'on peut résumer par le mythe de l'Ortolano Eterno : Homo : locatus est, damnatus est, humatus est, renatus est : in Horto. Or la Septième sourate du Coran est une expression notable de l'invariant de la gâtine. Ainsi comme il existe une cartographie dynamique des connexions cérébrales, la connectomique, il existe une connectomique des littératures et une biologie des littératures. Une partie du corps calleux des littératures, le faisceau de connexions directes entre Orient et Occident, est la "chaîne de la gâtine", un linéament de textes qui se fascinent pour l'interaction entre le monde et la conscience. Concernant Eliot, ses influences soufies directes vont de Omar Khayyam à Guénon ou Schuon, et ses influences indirectes relèvent de l'influence soufie sur les troubadours. Eliot influence lui-même la poésie de l'aire musulmane depuis au moins 1950. / Connecting T. S. Eliot's Waste Land to R. F. Burton's Kasidah produces a literary theory. The founding principle of this theory is the Unity of Consciousness (Wahdat al Wayy), after the exegesis of Ibn Arabi (Wahdat al Wujud and Wahdat al Adyan). It also postulates that any life is but a stream of consciousness. Action is thus the way by which consciousness writes in the world, and experience is the way the world writes in consciousness. The expression of consciousness in perspective is in turn a profound literary invariant, connecting The Waste Land and The Kasidah but also Poe's Al Aaraaf, Baudelaire's Voyage, Villon's Testament or Leopardi's Canto Notturno. Another invariant, based on the precedent, is the invariant of the wasteland, which can be summed up by the myth of the Ortolano Eterno : Homo : locatus est, damnatus est, humatus est, renatus est : in Horto. Now the seventh surah of the Quran is a notable expression of the invariant of the wasteland. In the same way that there is a connectomics of the human brain, there is a connectomics and also a biology of literatures. A sample of its corpus callosum, connecting the Western and Eastern literatures, is the "chain of the wasteland", a lineament of texts which leitmotiv is the interaction between consciousness and the world. Regarding Eliot his direct sufi influences range from Omar Khayyam to Guénon and Schuon, and his indirect ones regard the known sufi influence over the troubadours. In turn Eliot has been influencing the contemporary poetry of the muslim area since at least 1950.

Considering that meaning and aesthetical intention of the impersonal poetry can vary, according to theoretical guidance adopted, in this work we have used the concepts of Impersonality and Depersonalization as theorized and practiced by Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1968), recognized English language author, whose work met great and immediate repercussion and influenced his generation and subsequent artists and by Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935), poet of great importance to the Portuguese language literature, who, as shown by previous researches, presents aesthetical work similar to the English language author s. In this work, we have listed the main points in which these authors concepts of poetic making distancing between personality and poetic voice are similar. Through this research, we have attempted to demonstrate that (1) the author Ana Cristina Cesar shared the aesthetic concepts of Eliot s and Pessoa s, presenting similar ideas to the ones listed and fundamental to the authors we have chosen; and (2) Cesar s poetic work presents similar characteristics of poetic depersonalization found in Pessoa s and Eliot s work, characterizing it as impersonal. Thus, our object is not only to investigate this important poet of Brazilian literature, but mainly demonstrated how she continues the aesthetic project of impersonallity developed and theorized by the authors cited, and, in a general manner, distancing between the author s personality and the poetic voice. / O conceito de impessoalidade poética difundiu-se na literatura a partir do início do século XX.

Neste trabalho, elencamos os principais pontos em que as concepções de fazer poético e de distanciamento entre a personalidade pessoal do poeta e a voz enunciadora do poema dos autores citados são semelhantes. Através da pesquisa apresentada nesta dissertação, tentamos demonstrar que (1) a autora Ana Cristina Cesar partilhou das concepções estéticas de Eliot e de Pessoa, apresentando ideias similares às elencadas como fundamentais aos teóricos que escolhemos; e (2) a obra poética da poeta apresenta as características de despersonalização do eu-lírico que encontram-se em poemas de Pessoa e de Eliot, caracterizando-a como impessoais. Desta forma, nosso objetivo é não apenas prestigiar essa importante poeta da literatura brasileira, mas principalmente demonstrar como ela dá continuidade ao projeto estético de impessoalidade desenvolvidos e teorizados pelos autores citados e, de forma geral, de afastamento entre a personalidade do autor e o eu-lírico.

This thesis is a diachronic account of T. S. Eliot’s speaking voice, which, over fifty years, developed into the meticulously crafted tool of the twentieth-century author and critic and the politically and socially powerful instrument of the public intellectual. Eliot’s voice, although certainly the offspring of the nineteenth-century marriage of authorship as a bona fide profession and oral performance, was, however, unique in its responsiveness to twentieth-century legal and political debates on national identity and stability, copyright, and the powerful potential of recording technologies to both disseminate an author’s words almost exponentially whilst simultaneously encroaching on the traditional material of authorship: print. Indeed, what underpins this thesis is the argument that he was both fascinated by and actively involved in shaping those very discourses on the authority of the spoken voice in the belief that the power of the spoken word, and ultimately of his own voice, held an unrivalled ability to impact on social behaviour and national stability.

大部份的批評家都同意時間在艾略特的《四首四童奏》中是個重覆出現的主題。在每首四重奏中都有詩篇處理時間的主題。然而，雖然時間在《四首四重奏》中是個重要的主題，卻鮮少有批評家願意下功夫有系統地研究此一主題。因比，我認為在《四首四重奏》中，時間此一主題仍有許多批判的空間。而這就是我決定要有系統地研究《四首四重奏》中時間主題的原因。 時間在《四首四重奏》中展現許多不同的面貌。如同每首四重奏所顯現的，時間可以是哲理的、神祕的、以及先驗的。因比要將時間的概念簡化為單一的意念是困難的。然而，雖然要定義時間是困難的，我仍將在論文中探討《四首四重奏》中所呈現的時間之不同面相以及追溯時間朝向永恆時刻發展的形態。在本論文，我採取全方位的觀點，俾使我能夠探索時間的多重面貌。最重要的是，我能夠證明永恆的時刻為時間的中心概念。而此一中心概念就是時間形態的基礎所在。 除了導論和結論外，我將論文分為四章，依照四首四重奏的的順序。每首四重奏都體現了一種獨特的永恆時間觀。 「焚毀諾頓」將討論玫瑰花園中深刻的時刻以及模稜兩可的時間中心。 「東科村」將探討不斷循環的時間形態。 「海難岩」將著重在時間和永恆的交叉點。 「小吉丁」將重心放在當下以及由火和玫瑰結合所帶來的永恆時刻。最後的總結是永恆的時刻是艾略特於《四首四重奏》所追求時間形態最終的目標。 / Most critics would agree that time is a recurrent theme in Four Quartets. In each quartet, we have passages which deal with the theme of time. However, in spite of the significance of time as a major theme in Four Quartets. there are none the less few critics who take pains to study the theme of time systematically. Therefore, it still leaves, I think, much room for critical re-evaluation of the importance of time as a theme in Four Quartets. And this is the reason why I decide to do research on the concept of time in Four Quartets both thematically and systematically. Times assumes multifarious guises in Four Quartets. It may be philosophical, mystical, or even transcendental, as each quartet will demonstrate. Thus, it is difficult to simplify the concept of time as a single idea. However, despite the difficulty of defining time in specific terms, I neverthless intend, in my thesis, not only to explore the various aspects of time exemplified in Four Quartets but also to trace the pattern of time as a kind of development leading toward timeless moments. The methodology I adopt in this thesis is an all-embracing perspective which is both larhe and broad enough for me to probe into the different aspects of time and, most important of all, to seek a central, unifying concept of time-the timeless moment-on which the pattern of time is based. Besides, I intend to divide the body of my thesis into four chapters, following the sequence of the four quartets. Each quartet embodies a unique version of timeless moments. “Burnt Norton”will focus on the intensified moment in the rose-garden and the ambivalent center of time-the still point. “East Coker”will focus on the pattern of time as succession of the begining and the end. “The Dry Salvages”will focus on the point of intersection of the timeless with time. “Little Gidding”will focus on the immediate present and the timeless moment which culminates in the union of the fire and the rose. And finally I will conclude with the proposition that the timeless moment is the ultimate goal Eliot would like to achieve in pursuing the pattern of time in Four Quartets.
