“Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.”


“I take as metaphysical poetry that in which what is ordinarily
apprehensible only by thought is brought within the grasp of
feeling, or that in which what is ordinarily only felt is transformed
into thought without ceasing to be feeling. “
– T.S. Eliot
