A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is; otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named (Poetry Quotes)
I don't think you get to good writing unless you expose yourself and your feelings. Deep songs don't come from the surface; they come from the deep down. The poetry and the songs that you are suppose to write, I believe are in your heart (Poetry Quotes)
When superstition is allowed to perform the task of old age in dulling the human temperament, we can say goodbye to all excellence in poetry, in painting, and in music (Poetry Quotes)
There is poetry even in prose, in all the great prose which is not merely utilitarian or didactic: there exist poets who write in prose or at least in more or less apparent prose; millions of poets write verses which have no connection with poetry (Poetry Quotes)
I think that one possible definition of our modern culture is that it is one in which nine tenths of our intellectuals can't read any poetry (Poetry Quotes)
In my opinion we learn nothing from history except the infinite variety of men's behaviour. We study it, as we listen to music or read poetry, for pleasure, not for instruction (Poetry Quotes)
Experience has taught me, when I am shaving of a morning, to keep watch over my thoughts, because, if a line of poetry strays into my memory, my skin bristles so that the razor ceases to act (Poetry Quotes)
That's a wonderful change that's taken place, and so most poetry today is published, if not directly by the person, certainly by the enterprise of the poet himself, working with his friends (Poetry Quotes)
Besides the actual reading in class of many poems, I would suggest you do two things: first, while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it, teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition (Poetry Quotes)
The same people who are murdered slowly in the mechanized slaughterhouses of work are also arguing, singing, drinking, dancing, making love, holding the streets, picking up weapons and inventing a new poetry (Poetry Quotes)
The American doctrinaire is the converse of the American demagogue, and, in this way, is scarcely less injurious to the public. The first deals in poetry, the last in cant. He is as much a visionary on one side, as the extreme theoretical democrat is a visionary on the other (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary (Poetry Quotes)
People cannot stand the saddest truth I know about the very nature of reading and writing imaginative literature, which is that poetry does not teach us how to talk to other people: it teaches us how to talk to ourselves. What I'm desperately trying to do is to get students to talk to themselves, and not someone else (Poetry Quotes)
One merit of poetry few persons will deny: it says more and in fewer words than prose (Poetry Quotes)
If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds (Poetry Quotes)
When poetry thus keeps it's place as the handmaiden of piety, it shall attain not a poor perishable wreath, but a crown that fadeth not away (Poetry Quotes)
It's necessary to start most work alone. But I'm tickled to death when I can pull somebody in or join someone, whether it's borrowing poetry or traveling with an associate (Poetry Quotes)
I wrote things for the school's newspaper, and - like all teenagers - I dabbled in poetry (Poetry Quotes)
A public expectation, it has to be said, not of poetry as such but of political positions variously approvable by mutually disapproving groups (Poetry Quotes)
In fact, in lyric poetry, truthfulness becomes recognizable as a ring of truth within the medium itself (Poetry Quotes)
Manifesting that order of poetry where we can at last grow up to that which we stored up as we grew (Poetry Quotes)
The completely solitary self: that's where poetry comes from, and it gets isolated by crisis, and those crises are often very intimate also (Poetry Quotes)
The fact of the matter is that the most unexpected and miraculous thing in my life was the arrival in it of poetry itself-as a vocation and an elevation almost (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry and music are very good friends. Like mommies and daddies and strawberries and cream - they go together (Poetry Quotes)
In my late teenage years, I developed a real passion for it, and wrote a lot of poetry (Poetry Quotes)
When writing poetry, it is not that produces a bright idea, but the bright idea that kindles the fire of (Poetry Quotes)
I see people who talk about America, and then undermine it by not paying attention to it's soul, to it's poetry. I see polarization, reductionism and superficiality (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry teaches the enormous force of a few words, and, in proportion to the inspiration, checks loquacity (Poetry Quotes)
The gross heathenism of civilization has generally destroyed nature, and poetry, and all that is spiritual (Poetry Quotes)
