T. S. Eliot
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot
It is not necessarily those lands which are the most fertile or most favored in climate that seem to me the happiest, but those in which a long struggle of adaptation between man and his environment has brought out the best qualities of both.
T. S. Eliot
Sensibility alters from generation to generation in everybody, whether we will or no but expression is only altered by a man of genius.
T. S. Eliot
