The last of his four
T. S. Eliot
Memorial Lectures on Secondary Worlds-Art and Truth
4: Words and the Word
Language is the impersonal code we use as individual members of the human species, but it is more than that. Language proper is voluntary, conscious speech, uttered by one unique person to another. In its purest form it is poetry; and in it we attempt to make analogies of what we hold sacred. Mr. Auden concludes by examining the demand that Christianity makes upon language and upon the nature of imagination and the function of the artist.
The lectures, endowed by T. S. Eliot 's publishers, Faber and Faber, were delivered in the University of Kent in October and recorded at the time for the Third Programme.
