T. S. Eliot Quote

"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."

That's why I don't write poetry: I have no personality and no emotion. :) Have you stopped writing poetry???

Ha ha! :)

No, I haven't stopped--at least, I hope not. I just haven't written anything lately. What is it that Ed used to say? I want to want to.
