'Originality is all right, but if you become so original that nobody
can follow you and all fall behind gasping for breath, that is an
excess of virtue. The modernist poets do that with the result that
nobody has the least idea what they mean, not even themselves,
and the farther result that, as it has been said “there are more
people now who write poetry than read it”. 8 June 1938
