Whispers of Immortality
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Whispers of Immortality" is a poem by T. S. Eliot. Written sometime between 1915 and 1918, the poem was published originally in the September issue of the Little Review and first collected in June 1919 in a volume entitled Poems published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press. It is one of the quatrain poems, a mode that Eliot had adapted from the mid-19th-century French poet Theophile Gautier.[1] The title is a fainter parody of William Wordsworth's title of the poem, Intimations of Immortality.
