I picked up a second impression (Nov. 1942) of this Faber

publication today.

The book is a bit of an oddity: it's a reprint (1941) of the
second half of "Collected Poems" (1936). It presumably
contains "Burnt Norton", but not "East Coker" which had been
published separately in 1940. ("Burnt Norton" was also
published separately in 1941, as was "Dry Salvages".)


You are right. I note that The Four Quartets was not
published until 1943, sometime after my Nov. 1942 printing.
