| Summary: | Santayana's thought underlies much of Eliot's poetry. Both Eliot and Santayana were skeptics, and Eliot's skepticism is documented in the quartets, a work that is a personal journal of his search for faith. That search was to be an unsuccessful one, for Eliot realized the impossibility of union with the Absolute. The symbolism of the rosegarden, the bedded axle-tree, the still point, and the clematis, when analyzed, demonstrates Eliot's concept of a clockwork universe, a universe that is unknowing and uncaring. Eliot reaches that concept, basically, because of Santayana's influence. | |
