Poetry is at least an elegance and at most a revelation.
Robert Fitzgerald
The test of a given phrase would be: Is it worthy to be immortal? To ''make a beeline'' for something. That's worthy of being immortal and is immortal in English idiom. ''I guess I'll split'' is not going to be immortal and is excludable, therefore excluded.
Robert Fitzgerald
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
