Text Quotes
When everything goes right a mobile is a piece of poetry that dances with the joy of life and surprise! (Poetry Quotes)
Memories are the height of poetry only when they are memories of happiness. When they graze wounds over which scars have formed they become an aching pain (Poetry Quotes)
The pilgrim is a poetic traveler, one who believes that there is poetry on the road, at the heart of everything (Poetry Quotes)
The fear of poetry is an indication that we are cut off from our own reality (Poetry Quotes)
The aim of science is to make difficult things understandable in a simpler way; the aim of poetry is to state simple things in an incomprehensible way. The two are incompatible (Poetry Quotes)
As poetry is the harmony of words, so music is that of notes; and as poetry is a rise above prose and oratory, so is music the exaltation of poetry (Poetry Quotes)
I have never separated the writing of poetry from prayer. I have grown up believing it is a vocation, a religious vocation (Poetry Quotes)
Students often have such a lofty idea of what a poem is, and I want them to realize that their own lives are where the poetry comes from. The most important things are to respect the language; to know the classical rules, even if only to break them; and to be prepared to edit, to revise, to shape (Poetry Quotes)
Until people see poetry as springing from all of life, they will isolate it in a creativity corner and treat it like a mascot (Poetry Quotes)
What happened to poetry in the twentieth century was that it began to be written for the page (Poetry Quotes)
It is only when we are aware of the earth and of the earth as poetry that we truly live (Poetry Quotes)
In jazz, as in poetry, there is always that play between what’s regular and what’s wild. That has always appealed to me (Poetry Quotes)
The medium of poetry is a human body: the column of air inside the chest, shaped into signifying sounds in the larynx and the mouth. In this sense, poetry is just as physical or bodily an art as dancing (Poetry Quotes)
The best poetry has its roots in the subconscious to a great degree. Youth, naivety, reliance on instinct more than learning and method, a sense of freedom and play, even trust in randomness, is necessary to the making of a poem (Poetry Quotes)
My soul was a burden, bruised and bleeding. It was tired of the man who carried it, but I found no place to set it down to rest. Neither the charm of the countryside nor the sweet scents of a garden could soothe it. It found no peace in song or laughter, none in the company of friends at table or in the pleasures of love, none even in books or poetry... Where could my heart find refuge from itself? Where could I go, yet leave myself behind? (Poetry Quotes)
One ambition of poetry, certainly, is to create a reverberant silence in its wake, one that means more or differently than the silence that preceded the poem (Poetry Quotes)
It’s a good thing to get poetry off the shelves and more into public life (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry is my cheap means of transportation, by the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield (Poetry Quotes)
I am not sure that the discovery of love is necessarily more exquisite than the discovery of poetry (Poetry Quotes)
Everyone needs solitude, especially a person who is used to thinking about what she experiences. Solitude is very important in my work as a mode of inspiration, but isolation is not good in this respect. I am not writing poetry about isolation (Poetry Quotes)
The terrible poetry of human nudity, I understand it at last, I who tremble for the first time in trying to read it with blasé eyes (Poetry Quotes)
What happens on the football field matters, not in the way that food matters but as poetry does to some people and alcohol does to others: it engages the personality (Poetry Quotes)
I’ve never been able to write poetry without having vast tracts of dead time. Poetry requires a certain kind of disciplined indolence that the world, including many prose writers, doesn’t recognize as discipline. It is, though. It’s the discipline to endure hours that you refuse to fill with anything but the possibility of poetry, though you may in fact not be able to write a word of it just then, and though it may be playing practical havoc with your life. It’s the discipline of preparedness (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry has its uses for despair. It can carve a shape in which a pain can seem to be; it can give one’s loss a form and dimension so that it might be loss and not simply a hopeless haunting. It can do these things for one person, or it can do them for an entire culture. But poetry is for psychological, spiritual, or emotional pain. For physical pain it is, like everything but drugs, useless (Poetry Quotes)
At some point you have to believe that the inadequacies of the words you use will be transcended by the faith with which you use them. You have to believe that poetry has some reach into reality itself, or you have to go silent (Poetry Quotes)
Colors in painting are as allurements for persuading the eyes, as the sweetness of meter is in poetry (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry is a rhythmical piece of writing that leaves the reader feeling that life is a little richer than before, a little more full of wonder, beauty, or just plain delight (Poetry Quotes)
Prose pretends to be straightforward in its application to the truth, but truth itself is a dissembler. Poetry, much more honest, knows the deception can’t be overcome (Poetry Quotes)
What, after all, is mathematics but the poetry of the mind, and what is poetry but the mathematics of the heart? (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry has never let me down. Without poetry, I would have found life less comprehensible, less bearable and infinitely less enjoyable (Poetry Quotes)
