T. S. Eliot
Past art is subject to change.
T. S. Eliot
This is the feeling for syllable and rhythm, penetrating far below the conscious levels of thought and feeling, invigorating every word.
T. S. Eliot
Now that the lilacs are in bloom She has a bowl of lilacs in her room
T. S. Eliot
Humankind cannot bear very much reality.
T. S. Eliot
A prose that is altogether alive demands something of the reader that the ordinary novel reader is not prepared to give.
