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
