Text Quotes
Love, as the poet says, is like the spring. It grows on you and seduces you slowly and gently, but it holds tight like the roots of a tree. You don’t know until you’re ready to go that you can’t move, that you would have to mutilate yourself in order to be free. That’s the feeling. It doesn’t last, at least it doesn’t have to. But it holds on like a steel claw in your chest. Even if the tree dies, the roots cling to you. I’ve seen men and women give up everything for love that once was (Poet Quotes)
I believe that only poetry counts... A great novelist is first of all a great poet (Poet Quotes)
She does not love you. Your metaphors thrill her you are her poet. But that’s all there’s to it (Poet Quotes)
A poet must be a professor of the five senses and must open doors among them (Poet Quotes)
The poet is at the edge of our consciousness of the world, finding beyond the suspected nothingness which we imagine limits our perception another acre or so of being worth our venturing upon (Poet Quotes)
Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal but which the reader recognizes as his own (Poet Quotes)
I have decided, it is fruitless. For I am no longer sure of anything concerning my existance. A philosopher is a dead poet and a dying theologian (Poet Quotes)
When you find a waiter who is a waiter and not an actor, writer, musician or poet, you’ve found a jewel (Poet Quotes)
Alekhine is a poet who creates a work of art out of something that would hardly inspire another man to send home a picture post card (Poet Quotes)
Wildness we might consider as the root of the authentic spontaneities of any being. It is that wellspring of creativity whence comes the instinctive activities that enable all living beings to obtain their food, to find shelter, to bring forth their young: to sing and dance and fly through the air and swim through the depths of the sea. This is the same inner tendency that evokes the insight of the poet, the skill of the artist and the power of the shaman (Poet Quotes)
Our most emotionally active life is lived in our dreams, and our cells renew themselves most industriously in sleep. We reach highest in meditation, and farthest in prayer. In stillness every human being is great; he is free from the experience of hostility; he is a poet, and most like an angel (Poet Quotes)
If I knew what I was doing, I’d be doing it right now. I would be the best damn poet, silver words out of my mouth. My words might not be magic, but they cut straight to the truth. So if you need a lover and a friend, baby, I’m in (Poet Quotes)
As an architect you are a builder. You are of course more than a builder. You need to be a militant, you have to be a poet, you have to be a visionary, you have to be an artist. But certainly you have to be a builder. Everything starts from there (Poet Quotes)
I think the poet is the last person who is still speaking the truth when no one else dares to. I think the poet is the first person to begin the shaping and visioning of the new forms and the new consciousness when no one else has begun to sense it; I think these are two of the most essential human functions (Poet Quotes)
Sweetheart, when you break thru you’ll find a poet here, not quite what one would choose (Poet Quotes)
I believed that I wanted to be a poet, but deep down I wanted to be a poem (Poet Quotes)
I remember I was a child, and when I grew up I was a poet. It all happened at sixty miles an hour and on days when the clock stopped and all of humanity fit into a little chapel, into a pinecone, a shot of ouzo, a snail’s shell, a piece of soggy rye on the pavement (Poet Quotes)
Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential (Poet Quotes)
It is the poet and philosopher who provide the community of objectives in which the artist participates. Their chief preoccupation, like the artist, is the expression in concrete form of their notions of reality. Like him, they deal with the verities of time and space, life and death, and the heights of exaltation as well as the depths of despair. The preoccupation with these eternal problems creates a common ground which transcends the disparity in the means used to achieve them (Poet Quotes)
The true poet, is like a man who’s happy anywhere, in endless measure, if he’s allowed to look at leaves and grass, to see the sun rise and set (Poet Quotes)
The poet is never inspired, because he is the master of that which appears to others as inspiration. He does not wait for inspiration to fall out of the heavens like roasted ortolans. He knows how to hunt... He is never inspired because he is unceasingly inspired, because the powers of poetry are always at his disposition, subjected to his will, submissive to his own activity (Poet Quotes)
It seems to me that the poet has only to perceive that which others do not perceive, to look deeper than others look. And the mathematician must do the same thing (Poet Quotes)
Words make love on the page like flies in the summer heat and the poet is only the bemused spectator (Poet Quotes)
Translation is a kind of transubstantiation; one poem becomes another. You can choose your philosophy of translation just as you choose how to live: the free adaptation that sacrifices detail to meaning, the strict crib that sacrifices meaning to exactitude. The poet moves from life to language, the translator moves from language to life; both, like the immigrant, try to identify the invisible, what’s between the lines, the mysterious implications (Poet Quotes)
Black is not sad. Bright colours are what depress me. They’re so... empty. Black is poetic. How do you imagine a poet? In a bright yellow jacket? Probably not (Poet Quotes)
Two attributes of a poet, avidity of the eye and the desire to describe that which he sees (Poet Quotes)
The first task of the poet is to create the person who will write the poems (Poet Quotes)
A poet is the creator of the nation around him, he gives them a world to see and has their souls in his hand to lead them to that world (Poet Quotes)
I envy the poet. He is encouraged toward drunkenness and wallows with nubile wenches while the painter must endure wretchedness and pain for his art (Poet Quotes)
Even if a poet writes about sitting in a glass house drinking tea, it reflects politics (Poet Quotes)
