«We must believe that 'emotion recollected in tranquillity' is an inexact formula. For it is neither emotion, nor recollection, nor without distortion of meaning, tranquillity. It is a concentration, and a new thing resulting from the concentration of a very great number of experiences which to the practical and active person would not seem to be experiences at all; it is a concentration which does not happen consciously or of deliberation. These experiences are not 'recollected' and they finally unite in an atmosphere which is ''tranquil'' only in that it is a passive attending upon the event.»
Author: T.S. Eliot
(Critic, Editor, Playwright, Poet)

atmosphere, attending, concentration, consciously, distortion, formula, happen upon, inexact, passive, recollected, recollection, recollects, resulting, tranquil, tranquillity, unite
