A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

There is no good poetry.
Except, "Let there be light!"
There is no bad poetry,
Except, " I cannot see nor feel!"
All words are amoral.
There are only bad and good poets,
There are only bad and good critics;
Poetry is agony of spirit, body and mind.
Poetry is the music of the world.


***************************************

WHO IS A POET?


A POET IS A BEING
WHO IS STILL LEARNING
HOw TO OVERFLOW HIS SOUL.

WHO IS A POETESS ?

A POETESS IS A BEING
WHO IS STILL LEARNING
HOW TO OVERFLOW HER SOUL.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
