Poems Quotes

One of the remarkable things about love is that, despite very irritating people writing poems and songs about how pleasant it is, it really is quite pleasant Picture Quote #1

He felt himself in suspension between the two worlds, the warm, neat civilization behind his back, the cool, dark mystery outside. We all write poems; it is simply that poets are the ones who write in words Picture Quote #1

If politicians can’t do it, I want to do it. We have to do it. Artists, put it in paintings. Poets, put it in poems, novels. That’s what we have to do. And I think it’s so important to save the world Picture Quote #1

I’m very clever at hiding poems perhaps more clever than I am at writing them Picture Quote #1

Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems Picture Quote #1

One of the greatest, most noble, and most sublime poems which either this age or nation has produced Picture Quote #1

I soon realized that poets do not compose their poems with knowledge, but by some inborn talent and by inspiration, like seers and prophets who also say many fine things without any understanding of what they say Picture Quote #1

For my best poems were all written when I felt the worst. When I was happy, I didn’t write anything Picture Quote #1

When poems stop talking about the moon and begin to mention poverty, trade unions, color, color lines and colonies, somebody tells the police Picture Quote #1

The poems are all wrong. It’s a bang, a really big bang. Not a whimper. And sometimes gold can stay Picture Quote #1

Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out Picture Quote #1

Out of pain and problems have come the sweetest songs, the most poignant poems, the most gripping stories Picture Quote #1

I always wrote little things when I was younger. My first opus was a book of poems put down in a spiral notebook at five or six, handsomely accompanied by crayon illustrations Picture Quote #1

Like many modern poets, I tend to conceal rhymes by placing them in the middle of lines, and to avoid immediate alliteration and assonance in favor of echoes placed later in the poems Picture Quote #1

Who are you, reader, reading my poems an hundred years hence? I cannot send you one single flower from this wealth of the spring, one single streak of gold from yonder clouds. Open your doors and look abroad. From your blossoming garden gather fragrant memories of the vanished flowers of an hundred years before. In the joy of your heart may you feel the living joy that sang one spring morning, sending its glad voice across a hundred years Picture Quote #1

Heartbreak was the impetus to me writing poems and music in the first place. Over the years, I had my heart broken so badly that if I didn’t find a way to get all the pain out, I was going to lose my mind. I was crazy! Like, wanting to slash tires and smash car windows. Crazy! I was so hurt that I had to write Picture Quote #1

A woman knows very well that, though a wit sends her his poems, praises her judgment, solicits her criticism, and drinks her tea, this by no means signifies that he respects her opinions, admires her understanding, or will refuse, though the rapier is denied him, to run through the body with his pen Picture Quote #1

What he would say, he cannot say to this woman whose openness is like a wound, whose youth is not mortal yet. He cannot alter what he loves most in her, her lack of compromise, where the romance of the poems she loves still sits with ease in the real world. Outside these qualities he knows there is no order in the world Picture Quote #1

All the books of the world full of thoughts and poems are nothing in comparison to a minute of sobbing, when feeling surges in waves, the soul feels itself profoundly and finds itself. Tears are the melting ice of snow. All angels are close to the crying person Picture Quote #1

You should go from place to place recovering the poems that have been written for you to which you can affix your signature. Don’t discuss these matters with anyone. Retrieve. Retrieve. When the basket is full someone will appear to whom you can present it Picture Quote #1

What we had went so much deeper than a kiss. When we were together, she turned me completely inside out. It didn’t matter if we were dead or alive. We could never be kept apart. There were some things more powerful than worlds or universes. She was my world, as much as I was hers. What we had, we knew. The poems are all wrong. It’s a bang, a really big bang. Not a whimper. And sometimes gold can stay. Anybody who’s ever been in love can tell you that Picture Quote #1

I love chapbooks. They’re in some ways the ideal form in which to publish and read poems. You can read 19 poems in a way you can’t sit down and read 60 to 70 pages of poems Picture Quote #1

We have a lot of long narrative poems written in the 20th century, but they’re not very well known, and they’re not read by very many people Picture Quote #1
