T. S. Eliot quotes about
mind experience poet
When a poet's mind is perfectly equipped for its work, it is constantly amalgamating disparate experience ?in the mind of the poet these experiences are always forming new wholes.
heart mind may
My mind may be American but my heart is British.
cat names mind
I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots;Her coat is one of the tabby kind,with tiger stripes and lepard spots.
book breathing mind
We might remind ourselves that criticism is as inevitable as breathing, and that we should be none the worse for articulating what passes in our minds when we read a book and feel an emotion about it, for criticizing our own minds in their work of criticism.
time past mind
Here between the hither and the farther shore While time is withdrawn, consider the future And the past with an equal mind.
ideas mind fine
He had a mind so fine that no idea could violate it
race creative mind
Every nation, every race, has not only its own creative, but its own critical turn of mind; and is even more oblivious of the shortcomings and limitations of its critical habits than of those of its creative genius.
memories ideas mind
As a rule, with me an unfinished [idea] is a thing that might as well be rubbed out. It's better, if there's something good in it that I might make use of elsewhere, to leave it at the back of my mind than on paper in a drawer. If I leave it in a drawer it remains the same thing but if it's in the memory it becomes transformed into something else.
feelings mind rooms
In a mind charged with an eager purpose and an unfinished vindictiveness, there is no room for new feelings.
