Refined taste forms a good critic; but genius is further necessary to form the poet or the orator (Poet Quotes)
The poet is a creator, not an iconoclast, and never will tamely endeavor to say in prose what can only be expressed in song (Poet Quotes)
The true poet has no choice of material. The material plainly chooses him, not he it (Poet Quotes)

As a poet, there is only one political duty, and that is to defend one’s language from corruption (Poet Quotes)
Maybe you are a poet and a dreamer, but don’t you realize that those two species are extinct now? (Poet Quotes)
Heaven deliver us, what’s a poet? Something that can’t go to bed without making a song about it (Poet Quotes)
Perhaps no person can be a poet, or can even enjoy poetry, without a certain unsoundness of mind (Poet Quotes)
The business of the poet is not to find new emotions, but to use the ordinary ones and, in working them up into poetry, to express feelings which are not in actual emotions at all (Poet Quotes)
A poet can write about a man slaying a dragon, but not about a man pushing a button that releases a bomb (Poet Quotes)
No poet or novelist wishes he were the only one who ever lived, but most of them wish they were the only one alive, and quite a number fondly believe their wish has been granted (Poet Quotes)
I used to write a lot of songs. I was an English major in college. I was a deluded poet for a year. Totally deluded (Poet Quotes)
To be able to write a play a man must be sensitive, imaginative, naive, gullible, passionate; he must be something of an imbecile, something of a poet, something of a liar, something of a damn fool (Poet Quotes)
Any poet, if he is to survive beyond his 25th year, must alter; he must seek new literary influences; he will have different emotions to express (Poet Quotes)
The bad poet is usually unconscious where he ought to be conscious, and conscious where he ought to be unconscious (Poet Quotes)

Mediocrity is now, as formerly, dangerous, commonly fatal, to the poet; but among even the successful writers of prose, those who rise sensibly above it are the very rarest exceptions (Poet Quotes)
I have often argued that a poet more than thirty years old is simply an overgrown child. I begin to suspect that there may be some truth in it (Poet Quotes)

He was, if ever there was one, an inspired poet. I do not think it the highest sort of poet. And you never discover who is an inspired poet until the inspiration goes (Poet Quotes)
No verse is free for the man who wants to do a good job... Poetry.. Remains one person talking to another... No poet can write a poem of amplitude unless he is the master of the prosaic (Poet Quotes)
The unit of significance in the poem is not the word but the phrase or sentence... A poet should consider the effect of the whole poem, not its local felicities (Poet Quotes)
