The test of literature is, I suppose, whether we ourselves live more intensely for the reading of it.
- Elizabeth Drew
We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.
