Perfect purity is possible if you turn your life into a line of poetry written with a splash of blood (Poetry Quotes)
I wonder if children don’t begin to reject both poetry and religion for similar reasons, because the way both are taught takes the life out of them (Poetry Quotes)
The inmost spirit of poetry, in other words, is at bottom, in every recorded case, the voice of pain – and the physical body, so to speak, of poetry, is the treatment by which the poet tries to reconcile that pain with the world (Poetry Quotes)
The purpose of poetry is to remind us how difficult it is to remain just one person, for our house is open, there are no keys in the doors, and invisible guests come in and out at will (Poetry Quotes)

Being in love is something like poetry. Certainly, you can analyze and expound its various senses and intentions, but there is always something left over, mysteriously hovering between music and meaning (Poetry Quotes)
The purpose of poetry is to remind us / how difficult it is to remain just one person (Poetry Quotes)
If we’re going to solve the problems of the world, we have to learn how to talk to one another. Poetry is the language at its essence. It’s the bones and the skeleton of the language. It teaches you, if nothing else, how to choose your words (Poetry Quotes)

Each participates completely in the other. There could be no better metaphor for an understanding of the mechanics of the cosmos (Poetry Quotes)

Reclaiming the sacred in our lives naturally brings us close once more to the wellsprings of poetry (Poetry Quotes)
I have no advice for anybody; except to, you know, be awake enough to see where you are at any given time, and how that is beautiful, and has poetry inside. Even places you hate (Poetry Quotes)
It’s never going to be very mainstream. One reason is that poetry requires concentration, both on the part of the writer and the reader. But it’s kind of unkillable, poetry.

... imaginary gardens with real toads in them... if you demand on one hand, the raw material of poetry in all its rawness and that which is on the other hand genuine, then you are interested in poetry (Poetry Quotes)
She stood upon a continent of ice, which sparkled between sea and sky, endless and dazzling, as though the world kept all its treasure there; a scale which balanced poetry and prayer (Poetry Quotes)
The universal pervasion of ugliness, hideous landscapes, vile noises, foul language... everything. Unnatural, broken, blasted; the distortion of the dead, whose unburiable bodies sit outside the dug outs all day, all night, the most execrable sights on earth.
