Eliot varia
Nov. 12th, 2025 07:07 pmWhy should people treat verse as if it were a conundrum with an answer? When you find the answer to a conundrum it is no longer interesting.‘ Understanding’ poetry seems to me largely to consist of coming to see that it is not necessary to ‘understand'.
И про дескрипцию из каких-то студенческих его работ:
Description, unless otiose, is always more than description, for it involves a change of point of view; and explanation never really explains, because it involves the maintenance of one point of view (or act of will, so to speak) and this maintenance is impossible.
