Poetry And History Quotes

Our best history is still poetry Picture Quote #1

This is a good time to ask apologists for the Islamic regime, who degrades Islam? Who imposes stoning, forced marriage of underage girls and flogging for not wearing the veil?

We who love this way are poetry and history, action and theory, flesh and spirit Picture Quote #1

A glance at the history of European poetry is enough to inform us that rhyme itself is not indispensable. Latin poetry in the classical age had no use for it, and the kind of Latin poetry that does rhyme - as for instance the medieval ‘Carmina Burana’ - tends to be somewhat crude stuff in comparison with the classical verse that doesn’t Picture Quote #1

I think we fool ourselves and really negate a great deal of history if we think that the oral history of poetry is shorter than the written history of poetry. It's not true. Poetry has a longer oral tradition than it does written Picture Quote #1

Heroes in history seem to us poetic because they are there. But if we should tell the simple truth of some of our neighbors, it would sound like poetry Picture Quote #1

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular Picture Quote #1

Poetry carries its history within it, and it is oral in origin. Its transmission was oral Picture Quote #1

Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars Picture Quote #1

Even if you only want to write science fiction, you should also read mysteries, poetry, mainstream literature, history, biography, philosophy, and science Picture Quote #1

Without language, one cannot talk to people and understand them; one cannot share their hopes and aspirations, grasp their history, appreciate their poetry, or savor their songs Picture Quote #1

Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs? Picture Quote #1

A Grecian history, perfectly written should be a complete record of the rise and progress of poetry, philosophy, and the arts Picture Quote #1
