Sažetak
An important part of T.S. Eliot's poem East Coker, first published on Good Friday 1940, is a lyric with Jesus Christ as a wounded surgeon. The lyric consists of five stanzas and each of them of five lines. According to Christian tradition, the crucified Jesus had five wounds and was resurrected at five o'clock in the morning. The number five, therefore, functions in the above text as a symbol of life and death ; Michael Riffaterre termed such symbols dual signs. The article also discusses the sense and sound of some frequent vowels and the structure of the sentences in the lyric. The number five is a sacred number in Eliot's art, because all poems in Four Quartets consist of five parts , and so do The Waste Land, The Hollow Men, and the first version of Ash-Wednesday.
