pull down to refresh
No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists. You cannot value him alone; you must set him, for contrast and comparison, among the dead.
T.S. Eliot, The Sacred Wood

He oft finds med'cine who his grief imparts
But double grief afflicts concealing harts
Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene
