Poetry Quotes

The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs Picture Quote #1

I always thought that poetry is the verdict that others give to a certain kind of writing. So to call yourself a poet is a kind of dangerous description. It's for others; it's for others to use Picture Quote #1

I never really liked poetry readings; I liked to read poetry by myself, but I liked singing, chanting my lyrics to this jazz group Picture Quote #1

So, poetry becomes a means for useful dialogue between people who are not only unknown, but mute to each other. It produces a dialogue among people that guards all of us against manipulation by our so called leaders Picture Quote #1

We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry Picture Quote #1

Poetry; a criticism of life under the conditions fixed for such a criticism by the laws of poetic truth and poetic beauty Picture Quote #1

There is little premium in poetry in a world that thinks of Pound and Whitman as a weight and a sampler, not an Ezra, a Walt, a thing of beauty, a joy forever Picture Quote #1

I have had much to learn from Sweden's poetry and, more especially, from her lyrics of the last generation Picture Quote #1

Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that Picture Quote #1

Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during the moment Picture Quote #1

We read Robert Browning's poetry. Here we needed no guidance from the professor: the poems themselves were enough Picture Quote #1

When I was writing pretty poor poetry, this girl with midnight black hair told me to go on Picture Quote #1

I want people to bow as they see me and say he is gifted with poetry, he has seen the presence of the creator Picture Quote #1

He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realise Picture Quote #1

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does Picture Quote #1

Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private Picture Quote #1

The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. That's what poetry does Picture Quote #1

Poets, you know, are always ahead of science; all the great discoveries of science have been stated before in poetry Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

Thanks partly to the kind of poets that we now have and partly to funding, there's been a gigantic shift in the way poetry is perceived. Poems on the underground, poets in schools, football clubs, zoos Picture Quote #1

I'm not precisely saying that a really good board meeting at the MLA (Museums, Libraries and Archives Coucil) makes me want to go and write poetry, but there is a pleasure in doing that sort of thing well Picture Quote #1

Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it Picture Quote #1

The subject of Finnish poetry ought to have a special interest for the Japanese student, if only for the reason that Finnish poetry comes more closely in many respects to Japanese poetry than any other form of Western poetry Picture Quote #1

Perhaps there is an idea among Japanese students that one general difference between Japanese and Western poetry is that the former cultivates short forms and the latter longer ones, gut this is only in part true Picture Quote #1

It is true that short forms of poetry have been cultivated in the Far East more than in modern Europe; but in all European literature short forms of poetry are to be found - indeed quite as short as anything in Japanese Picture Quote #1

I often imagine that the longer he studies English literature the more the Japanese student must be astonished at the extraordinary predominance given to the passion of love both in fiction and in poetry Picture Quote #1

A very intimate sense of the expressiveness of outward things, which ponders, listens, penetrates, where the earlier, less developed consciousness passed lightly by, is an important element in the general temper of our modern poetry Picture Quote #1

Music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance. Poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music Picture Quote #1

Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors. You can walk through anyone that suits you Picture Quote #1

All those authors there, most of whom of course I've never met. That's the poetry side, that's the prose side, that's the fishing and miscellaneous behind me. You get an affection for books that you've enjoyed Picture Quote #1

I come here to speak poetry. It will always be in the grass. It will also be necessary to bend down to hear it. It will always be too simple to be discussed in assemblies Picture Quote #1
