Merkin Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 T.S. Eliot was never afraid to sling an opinion as though it were a truism. This one is sheer nonsense:• “Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.” Quote Link to comment

colinian Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I thought this quote was very funny. And not at all offensive. It's a quote that includes its own rejoinder. Colin Quote Link to comment
