'I thought of the abundance, of the simplicity of the poems, and said, "in your country is there much propagandist writing, much criticism? We have to do so much, especially in my own country, that our minds gradually cease to be creative, and yet we cannot help it. If our life was not a continual warfare, we would not have taste, we would not know what is good, we would not find hearers and readers. Four-fifths of our energy is spent in the quarrel with bad taste, whether in our own minds or in the minds of others."'
-- W.B. Yeats, preface to Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore
