"T.S. Eliot said to me &amp;apos;There’s only one way a poet can develop his actual writing – apart from self-criticism &amp;amp; continual practice. And that is by reading other poetry aloud – and it doesn’t matter whether he understands it or not (i.e. even if it’s in another language.) What matters above all, is educating the ear.&amp;apos; What matters, is to connect your own voice with an infinite range of verbal cadences &amp;amp; sequences – and only endless actual experience of your ear can store all that in your nervous system. The rest can be left to your life &amp;amp; your character."
