Text Quotes
The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and g (Poem Quotes)
A poem needs understanding through the senses. The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore; it’s to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water. You do not work the lake out. It is an experience beyond thought. Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept mystery (Poem Quotes)
The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short (Poem Quotes)
Fear never wrote a symphony or poem, negotiated a peace treaty, or cured a disease. Fear never pulled a family out of poverty or a country out of bigotry. Fear never saved a marriage or a business. Courage did that. Faith did that. People who refused to consult or cower to their timidities did that. But fear itself? Fear herds us into a prison and slams the doors. Wouldn’t it be great to walk out? (Poem Quotes)
Every authentic poem contributes to the labor of poetry... to bring together what life has separated or violence has torn apart... Poetry can repair no loss, but it defies the space which separates. And it does this by its continual labor of reassembling what has been scattered (Poem Quotes)
In a sense, the story, or poem or verse or whatever it is you’re writing, you can kind of think of it as a kind of projectile. Imagine it is a kind of projectile which has been specially shaped to be aerodynamic, and that your target is the soft grey putty of the reader’s brain (Poem Quotes)
In the late 60s and early 70s, I did get interested in voices, and in narration and embodying the voice, making the poem sound like a real person talking (Poem Quotes)
To say a poem is absolute is saying nothing, because an ink blot can be absolute. Yet you put into it what you like. So it becomes totally relative (Poem Quotes)
I am still interested in the long or serial poem, but have written a few smaller things. I may start sending to journals again in a year or so... That’s about it (Poem Quotes)
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with someone having to read a poem twice. Or even a book (Poem Quotes)
I think that there are fiction writers for whom that works well. I could never do it. I feel as if, by the time I see that it’s a poem, it’s almost written in my head somewhere (Poem Quotes)
No, I think that a person writes a poem because they have an inner urge of something that they want to express, and I think it’s that inner urge that you want to express when you write a piece of music (Poem Quotes)
I consider a poem to be a kind of experiment where a number of elements are brought together under test conditions to see how they will interact to create meaning or relevance (Poem Quotes)
I would not say I chose to write long poems on a conscious level. The long poem has been a relative constant (Poem Quotes)
The reader’s challenge is to replicate the experiment by reading the poem and to draw their own conclusions (Poem Quotes)
Whether you listen to a piece of music, or a poem, or look at a picture or a jug, or a piece of sculpture, what matters about it is not what it has in common with others of its kind, but what is singularly its own (Poem Quotes)
Still the question remains of what actually speaks in a poem, if not subjectivity as historically constructed (Poem Quotes)
When you read and understand a poem, comprehending its rich and formal meanings, then you master chaos a little (Poem Quotes)
The glove has been thrown to the ground, the last choice of weapons made. A book for one thought. A poem for one line. A line for one word (Poem Quotes)
The reader is the content of any poem or of the language he employs, and in order to use any of these forms, he must put them on (Poem Quotes)
The great modern heresy in poetry is to confuse the use we make of words in a poem with modalities of speech... For true poetry is never speech but always a song (Poem Quotes)
A man cannot write a poem or a story that will transform the whole nature of man, his reality and his truth, making them greater and nobler (Poem Quotes)
A living poem can energise another poem at five hundred years distance, or across the other side of the world (Poem Quotes)
The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius (Poem Quotes)
The poem goes form the poet’s gibberish to the gibberish of the vulgate and back again (Poem Quotes)
With me it’s the whole thing, it’s the conceit, the idea, what the poem is saying. and it goes on just as long as is necessary to say what needs to be said (Poem Quotes)
The social value of a poem is proved not by marketing or reviews but by enduring resonance, a process that occurs as a response over time by humanity (Poem Quotes)
As soon as I get an idea, I write a short story, or I start a novel, or I do a poem. So I have no need for a notebook (Poem Quotes)
An achieved poem is always beautiful in its own way, though such a way will many times strike people as harsh and repellent (Poem Quotes)
Don’t you love quotations? I am immensely fond of them; a certain proof of erudition... If you should happen to write an insipid poem... Send it to me, and my fiat shall crown you with immortality (Poem Quotes)
