Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation are directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry.
T. S. EliotThe more perfect the artist, the more completely separate in him will be the man who suffers and the mind which creates.
T. S. EliotI have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots;Her coat is one of the tabby kind,with tiger stripes and lepard spots.
T. S. EliotTo arrive where you are, to get from where you are not, You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy. In order to arrive at what you do not know You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance. In order to possess what you do not possess You must go by the way of dispossession. In order to arrive at what you are not You must go through the way in which you are not. And what you do not know is the only thing you know And what you own is what you do not own And where you are is where you are not.
T. S. Eliot
