Quote from T.S. Eliot
The business of the poet is not to find new emotions, but to use the ordinary ones and, in working them up into poetry, to express feelings which are not in actual emotions at all.

Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
