T.S. Elliot Poetry Quote
Immature poets imitate;
mature poets steal;
bad poets deface what they take,
and good poets make it into something better,
or at least something different.
mature poets steal;
bad poets deface what they take,
and good poets make it into something better,
or at least something different.
The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique,
utterly different from that from which it was torn;
the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion.
- T.S. Elliot
September 26, 1888 - January 4, 1965
