Wire in the blood. - a photo on Flickriver

Wire in the blood.

The phrase ‘the wire in the blood’ comes from T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. – "The trilling wire in the blood sings below inveterate scars appeasing long-forgotten wars".

Who knows what Eliot really meant by that line?

In the TV Series Robson Green suggests that the phrase wire in the blood was taken to mean a genetic kink, something impure and unusual in the blood, that leads to a kind of psychosis.

The Writer of the TV Series Val McDermid says: “Who knows what Eliot really meant by that line? Robson’s explanation is as good as any… For myself, I’ve always taken it to be a metaphor for the thrill of adrenaline surging through the bloodstream".
