No poet, no artist of any kind, has their complete meaning alone. Their significance, their appreciation is the appreciation of their relation to the poets and artists that prepared the ground for them.To proceed to a more intelligible exposition of the relation of the poet to the past: one can neither take the past as a lump, an indiscriminate bolus, nor can one form themselves wholly on one or two private admirations, nor can one form themselves wholly on one preferred period. (after Eliot, Tradition and the Individual Talent)
