Karin Boye s-a născut pe 26 Octombrie 1900, în orașul Suedez Göteborg. Ea a început să scrie și sã participe la dezbateri culturale chiar din vremea studenției, la început din punct de vedere religios, răzvrătindu-se pe atunci împotriva politicii conservatoare culturale. Poeziile din tinerețe au fost influențate de Buddhism, Schopenhauer și în cele din urmã de Nietzsche. A scris în tinerețe volumele de poezii: MOLN(1922), GÖMDA LAND(1924) și HÄRDARNA(1927). În volumul FÖR TRÄDETS SKULL( 1935) ea își schimbă stilul… Romanele și povestirile scurte pe care le-a scris au tratat dificile probleme psihologice și morale… În 1931 Boye a fondat cu Erik Mesterton revista de poezie Riwkin Spektrum, prezentându-i pe T.S.Eliot și Surrealists cititorilor Suedezi. Împreunã cu criticul Erik Mesterton, ea a tradus Eliot's Waste Land. Boye a contribuit de asemenea la revista Arbetet(între anii 1932-1933).

T.S. Eliot

Thomas Stearns Eliot, OM (26 September 1888–4 January 1965), was a poet, playwright and literary critic. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Among his most famous writings are the poems The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, The Waste Land, The Hollow Men, Ash Wednesday and Four Quartets; the plays Murder in the Cathedral and The Cocktail Party; and the essay "Tradition and the Individual Talent". Eliot was born in the United States, moved to the United Kingdom in 1914 (at age 25), and became a British subject in 1927 at the age of 39. Of his nationality and its role in his work, Eliot said: "[My poetry] wouldn't be what it is if I'd been born in England, and it wouldn't be what it is if I'd stayed in America. It's a combination of things. But in its sources, in its emotional springs, it comes from America."

Inspiration Inspiration Sit down she said, pen me a few lines, tell me of life, love, hopes and dreams. write to me of much happier times When love ruled your heart, and life it seemed Was full of possibilities, plans and endless schemes. I took up the challenge, and began to write, Of life, of love and hopes and dreams, Words flowed like rivers, as I wrote them down, Thinking all the while of the lady I'd found To inspire my thoughts, and urge me on, To make something beautiful, maybe a song. Into the small hours, I toiled away, writing down lines, throwing them away. 'Twas then that I realised, that the happier times That she spoke of and wanted, were not of that time. For the happier times were not from long ago, But were here with me now, and now I know, That 'twas the love for this lady, that made my words flow, And to write something beautiful, for her, her alone. I wrote of life, and my living with her, Of love, her in my arms forever more, Of hopes, a future for us so bright,...
