- Abstract
This paper aims at understanding the philosophy of life in Four Quartets by T. S. Eliot (1888-1965), an American-born poet, playwright, and critic. The idea of humility is reinforced by T. S. Eliot in Four Quartets. This is also a major theme in Santayana's writings. George Santayana (1863-1952), the Spanish-American philosopher and poet received his doctorate degree from Harvard University in 1889 and later became a faculty member there. He was a highly respected and inspiring teacher, and his students included poets Conrad Aiken, T. S. Eliot, Robert Frost and Wallace Stevens. He emerged as a central figure in American Philosophical circles. The paper examines the similarities in thought in the poems of T. S. Eliot and George Santayana.
