"Poetry must have something in it that is barbaric, vast and wild."
Author:
Denis Diderot

Poetry and Poets
"We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others."

"We must believe that "emotion recollected in tranquillity" is an inexact formula. For it is neither emotion, nor recollection, nor without distortion of meaning, tranquillity. It is a concentration, and a new thing resulting from the concentration of a very great number of experiences which to the practical and active person would not seem to be experiences at all; it is a concentration which does not happen consciously or of deliberation. These experiences are not "recollected" and they finally unite in an atmosphere which is "tranquil" only in that it is a passive attending upon the event."

T. S. Eliot

"It does not need that a poem should be long. Every word was once a poem. Every new relationship is a new word."

"The writing of a poem is like a child throwing stones into a mineshaft. You compose first, then you listen for the reverberation."
