Recenzii
"The theatre as well as the church is enriched by this poetic play of grave beauty and momentous decision." —The New York Times "This play comes closer to perfection than anything that Eliot has written." —New York Herald Tribune Books "Within its limits the play is a masterpiece...Mr. Eliot has written no better poem than this and none which seems simpler." —The Nation "Mr. T. S. Eliot...has won for religious drama a fresh hearing...Not since 'St. Joan' has there been any play on the English stage in which such tremendous issues as this have been treated with such mastery of thought, as well as dramatic power." —Christian Century "Eliot has found himself anew as a poet, only with an added ease, lucidity and objectiveness." —Spectator —
