At a meeting of the English Club at Oxford, Mr T. S. Eliot gave advice to would-be poets. He declared that poetry is not a career and a wholetime job, and recommended poetic aspirants to get jobs occupying part of the mind for part of the time, instead of one occupying the whole of the mind for the whole of the time. Mr Eliot mentioned the civil service, banking, and insurance as good forms of employment for budding poets.
