RE: Wishes (Poetry)

in #poetry7 years ago

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.When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before. Thanks for this blessings to you .

Thank you for the upvote; it's much appreciated.

Please note that you are using a quote from T. S. Eliot, and it should be credited to him. I've seen several people use this quote, and it's wrong to plagiarize someone else's work.
