T. S. Eliot



"Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.  The good poet welds his theft into a whole feeling which is unique, utterly different from that which it was torn."



— T. S. Eliot
American Poet
1888 - 1965
