Many artists get their inspiration to write from life situations and experiences they have undergone. If you dredge deeply enough into some of their works, pain and anguish can be seen alone with heartfelt sorrow. The poems by Robert Frost and T.S. Eliot can serve as examples of understanding the lives of poets through their artistic symbolisms.
