T.S. Eliot

Here’s to T.S. Eliot, born on this date in 1888.

Eliot is said to have said, “Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality.” I suspect most of us don’t really know what poetry is. The right words in the right order sound like poetry to us to the extend we can hear them.
