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.
-- T.S. Eliot –
On this day in 1888, T.S. (Thomas Stearns) Eliot, winner of the 1948 Nobel Prize for Literature, was born in St. Louis, Mo.
Have a great Monday!
