"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. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things." ~ T. S. Eliot
Ha!
ReplyDeleteI never see Eliot's name without thinking of the poem Marianne Moore wrote about him: "To a Steamroller". Now I have another tidbit to add to my totally useless Eliot trivia cache.
LOL - glad I could add to your cache of useless trivia. My job is done for the day. :)
