The essay “Tradition and Individual Talent” written by TS Elliot, illustrates the many reasons why poets should detach themselves from their writings and extract any personal elements they may wish to add. When writing, it is difficult to create a work that contains elements of previous ancestors and poets. Elliot talks about the theme of “tradition” (2544), how it “cannot be inherited” (2544), and that one must insist on historical events as well as events happening in the present to create a piece of writing that is not a replication of one's personality. Too often poets are applauded for their work, solely based on the individual and original aspects they have included, yet the credit goes to the writers of the past. Elliot says: "Whereas if we approach a poet without this prejudice, we will often find that not only the best, but also the most individual parts of his work may be those in which the dead poets, his ancestors, assert their immortality with greater vigor" ( 2544). He is right that by removing ourselves from writing we can experience the power and emotion found in writing, rather than feeling that this comes directly from the poets and outlines his life and feelings. Poets should use the emotions they already feel, rather than trying to find new emotions to “express feelings that are not real emotions at all” (2458). Elliot believes that a "bad poet" is "personal" when he is awake but should be unaware and unaware when he should be awake. The emotions you should use when writing are those gathered while you are in a calm state of mind. When the mind experiences tranquility and the body is in a relaxing environment is the moment when the bit... in the center of the paper... is the reader for interpretation. Modernists wrote to let the reader “create values ​​and meanings for themselves” (2113). Although many characteristics of the Romantic period, the Victorian age, and the modernist period were very different, the three pieces of poetry I have highlighted have all phenomenal the authors following the essay T. S. Elliot wrote without ever reading it. This proves that Elliot is right that a great writer must detach his personality and use his previous poets as a guide for writing poetry. All three of the poems I highlighted use nature's struggles against society, even though each poem is from a different time period. Thus highlighting the fact that each time period changed so significantly, writers began to detach their own personalities and simply write the emotions of the time, highlighting the only beauty they could find, nature..
