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.

  • -- T. S. Eliot T.S.艾略特

诗歌不是情感的放纵,而是情感的逃避;它不是个性的表现,而是对个性的一种逃避。但是,当然,只有那些有个性和情感的人才知道想要逃离这些东西意味着什么。
