“The emotion of art is impersonal. And the poet cannot reach this impersonality without surrendering himself wholly to the work to be done. And he is not likely to know what is to be done unless he lives in what is not merely the present, but the present moment of the past, unless he is conscious, not of what is dead, but of what is already living.” ArtPoetryEmotionTalentExpressionTraditionEssay Author:T S Eliot
“Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn.” Steal Like An Artist Author:T S Eliot
“Those who glitter with the glory of the hummingbird meaning death” DeathWealthPoemGlamourMarina Author:T S Eliot
