"There is a great deal, in the writing of poetry, which must be conscious
and deliberate. In fact, the bad poet is usually unconscious where he ought
to be conscious, and conscious where he ought to be unconscious. Both errors
tend to make him "personal." 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."

Should I post the essay in its entirety?
But then who would read it?

censor you are, you illiterate little twat. In future confine your
burbling wankery to us.* if you know what's good for you. Woem.)
