Hey does anybody have any information we could discuss about T.S. Eliot? I have a speech on him and I'm really interested in poetry, actually I have about 100 accounted for poems in a notebook. T.S. Eliot has really been inspriring me lately especially this phrase he said: "Poetry is not the turning lose of emotion but an escape of emotion; it is not the '?' personality but an escape of personality. But, of course, only those that have personality and emotions knows what it means to want to escape from these things." I fergot what the '?' area was so that's why it has been question marked. Please send information if you have any on T.S.Eliot or a possibility on what you know or would like to express about him. Please reply at: poetic_4ever@yahoo.com please and thank you! -a VERY poetic gurl
Try the url above.(reflecting the words below and much more)...
The other aspect of this Impersonal theory of poetry is the relation of the poem to its author. And I hinted, by an analogy, that the mind of the mature poet differs from that of the immature one not precisely in any valuation of "personality," not being necessarily more interesting, or having "more to say," but rather by being a more finely perfected medium in which special, or very varied, feelings are at liberty to enter into new combinations. Do you write?
Ok thanks much! =) That's really good! Actually yeah I do write. I write a lot really. =P I've been writing speeches, poems, lyrics, riddles, and things like that for almost two years now. Do you write?
