“Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves.”
T.S. Eliot
“Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.”
