Poetry Quote by T.S. Eliot — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“We returned to our palaces, these Kingdoms, but no longer at ease here in the old dispensation, with an alien people clutching their gods. I should be glad of another death.”

“So I find words I never thought to speak”

“Light”

“Sometimes things become possible if we want them bad enough.”

“Till Human voices wake us, and we drown.”

“The only wisdom we can hope to acquire”

“Much Madness is Divinest Sense, to a Discerning Eye....”

“I sit in my tree”

“Poetry is the art of saying what you mean but disguising it.”

“Falling in love was easy-when romantic attraction was combined with hungry, unsated desire, they formed a glamorous, glittering bauble as fragile as it was alluring, a bauble that could shatter as soon as it was grasped.”

“Most of my friends like words too well. They set them under the blinding light of the poem and try to extract every possible connotation from each of them, every temporary pun, every direct or indirect connection - as if a word could become an object by mere addition of consequences. Others pick up words from the streets, from their bars, from their offices and display them proudly in their poems as if they were shouting, "See what I have collected from the American language. Look at my butterflies, my stamps, my old shoes!" What does one do with all this crap?”

“Terketmedi sevdan beni,”
