“The only way of expressing emotion in the form of

art is by finding an “objective correlative”; in other

words, a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events

which shall be the formula of that

particular emotion; such that when the external

facts, which must terminate in sensory experience,

are given, the emotion is immediately evoked.”

- T. S. Eliot, “Hamlet and his Problems”
