A Hermit of Carmel, and Other Poems

A Hermit of Carmel and Other Poems is a collection of poetic works by a Spanish-American philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist, George Santayana. Santayana is remembered for his aphorisms, many of which have been so frequently used to become clichéd. Some of them are: «Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,» and «Only the dead have seen the end of the war.»
