Epigraph: 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. —TS Eliot
Tradition, a line of masters and predecessors, can be for the creator a line-current into which he is plugged. It can be a hill from whose top he sees beyond, and rules over, what is on the plain below. Or it can be a dead yesterday entombed in the night just past and grandly canceled [sic] by the creative sun that is the originality of his magic or his skill, making it new, darkening the past into mere History. —John Hollander
