Title
Eliot's Rose Garden: A Sufi Interpretation
Abstract
Eliot's theosophical poetry supports the idea that God's willingness to relate to the world gives his creatures the possibility of personal knowledge of him, although this can be acquired only through difficult and serenuous spiritual exercises. The variety of poetic works, which Eliot produced such as Four Quartets and Hollow man, are a blend of philosophical and mystical ideas which attempt to explore the inner meaning of faith and represent a creative and influential stream that both draws upon and contributes to Sufism.
