T.S. Eliot in 1948, on accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature:
"Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves."

do you know for what Eliot won the Nobel Prize? It would be interesting to see what he was awarded the prize for.
Futher that quote pretty much encapsulates the ideology of his poetry don't you think? He speaks of such deeply buried emotions and topics in his poems...at least that's my view of the works I have read.
