Explain, quote, "Some can absorb knowledge, the more tardy must sweat for it. Shakespeare from Plutarch than most men could from the whole British museum".
Eliot wants to say about this quote that all writers have the greatness of Shakespeare and his historical sense. It is not the necessary for a poet. The past but one has to have understanding of human nature. Shakespeare has absorbed his age, so, he seems to absorbed and lived through age and absorbed his age.
Explain, "Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from from emotion; it is not theexpression of personailty, but an escape from personlity".
In this quote Eliot does not deny personality or emotion to the poet only, he must depersonalize his emotions there should be an extinction of his personality. This impersonality can be achieved only when poet surrenders himself completely to the work that is to be done.
Write two points on which one can write critique on T.S.Eliot as a critic.
Eliot's view of escape from emotion and escape from personality.
The idea of depersonalization that the msn who suffers and the mind which creates are different.
