searching for a line 10/29/06 4:21 PM Please excuse my newness, if I am in any breach of etiquette. I haven't participated in such fora. I could use some help by an Eliot scholar. As I remember, when the poet was asked for his favorite sentence in the English language, he surprised his audience with an immediate reply. What was it?

RE: searching for a line 04/22/07 9:38 PM yea same here. Though I'm only an high school Freshman, I've done/am doing a report on him for a speech topic and I've been unable to find too much information on him about certain points and subjects. I may not be an Eliot Scholar or dealing with professional poetry, but I am very much interested in poetry and if you've got any tips please suggest them to my e-mail address- poetic_4ever@yahoo.com Researching on ELiot has helped and inspired me much, but since I'm still a late started poet I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding what exactly makes a poem. I've thought it over many a time, but it still hasn't clicked. I keep thinking of this phrase/verse Eliot had said/wrote: Poetry is not the turning lose of emotions, but an escape from emotions; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions knows what it means to want to escape from these things.-T. S. Eliot I just kind of figured that possibly people that like and are doing research on T. S. ELiot might be a bit interested and influenced into poetry. |
