Eliot exemplifies and explains what I've never been able to say: what makes a poem burst into my (the reader's) existence - or, for that matter, what makes one languish on the page, while I yawn. This whole essay, but especially his last two paragraphs, should be required reading for any writer. Or serious reader. (You have to be the latter, to read it!)
