پیش از هر چیز: متن دوزبانه است و این یک مزیت بزرگه. هر چند وقتی متن انگلیسی را می خواندم چندان حس نکردم انگلیسی خواندنش جز در مورادی لذتم را بیشتر بتواند بکند
کلیت این شعر نمایشی تلاشی است برای تأکید بر این مطلب که بدون حضور خدا تلاش های بشر امروز بی بنیاد است. عنوان صخره نیز به همین موضوع اشاره دارد. این حضور به طور خاص با مسیح گره خورده است و کلیسا - یادآور شمعون که عیسی به او گفت امت مسیح (اکلِسیا، همان لغت کلیسا ) را بر تو استوار می کنم و به تبع این حرف شمعون، پتروس ( به معنی سنگ ) نامیده شد

This may not be Eliot's best work, but it is still better than 95% of the poetry published in the 20th century.

Kod nas prevedeno kao "Zborovi iz Stijene". Djelo je napisano za potrebe crkve. Eliot govori o ljudskim porocima i grijesima te novom materijalističkom svijetu u kojemu su ljudi zaboravili na crkvu i vjeru. Poziva na buđenje svijesti u narodu, prilikom gradnje jedne od crkava. Ova drama u slobodnom stihu obiluje kršćanskom/biblijskom metaforikom i simbolima, ali pri tom Eliot nije patetičan i ugodno me je iznenadio, naročito jer mu se ovo ne smatra jednim od boljih djela.

I read the Choruses from The Rock and they represent Eliot's verse at its most political. I need to come back to this - this text is often overlooked but there seems to be a lot of material here begging for Marxist and ecocritical readings.

It needs a full stomach of busy hectic city life for one to appreciate this beautiful play. One of absolute favourites.
I've read this as "Choruses from 'The Rock'" -- because Eliot did not write the entire play.
More philosophical, like Four Quartets, than some of his stuff. Still with a number of marvelous poetic images. ...more

Pungent, not my favorite. I haven't given the play a fair go, reading only Eliot's Choruses in the Collected Poems.

Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?”
“When the Stranger says: “What is the meaning of this city ?
Do you huddle close together because you love each other?”
What will you answer? “We all dwell together
To make money from each other”? or “This is a community”?
Oh my soul, be prepared for the coming of the Stranger.
Be prepared for him who knows how to ask questions.”
