‘The poet sifts within his thought pattern, giving attention to subtle intimations of sound and rhythm, which are somewhere far behind the jumble of words with which his mind is filled. In this way he creates a phrase that carries with it a new force and the reader in turn can perceive his own feelings being intensified as their energy is transformed by the impressions he receives from the poem.'
Peter Brook (Parabola, May 1996).
