Text Quotes
Good poets have written in order to describe something or to preach something - with their eye on the object or the end. The essence of the poetry does not lie in the thing described or in the message imparted but in the resulting concrete unity, the poem. (Poetry Quotes)
My relationship stays strong because I serenade her with my actions and I write poetry in her heart with my deeds. My endless love is expressed with more than just my words; my love is lived as a verb. (Poetry Quotes)
The cliché is dead poetry. English, being the language of an imaginative race, abounds in clichés, so that English literature is always in danger of being poisoned by its own secretions. (Poetry Quotes)
I love John Ashbery. He’s the - really the poet laureate of English language poetry, whether he’s given that or not, he is to me. (Poetry Quotes)
In the long revolt against inherited forms that has by now become the narrative of 20th-century poetry in English, no poet was more flamboyant or more recognizable in his iconoclasm than Cummings. (Poetry Quotes)
An English poet writes, I think, just for people who are interested in poetry. An American poet writes, and feels that everyone ought to appreciate this. Then he has a deep sense of grievance . . . (Poetry Quotes)
The length and shape of the poemetto, like the greater Romantic lyric of English poetry, lends itself to retrospection and commentary. (Poetry Quotes)
Italian is the language of song. German is good for philosophy and English for poetry. French is best at precision; it has a rigour to it. (Poetry Quotes)
The iambic pentameter owes its pre-eminence in English poetry to its genius for variation. Good blank verse does not sound like a series of identically measured lines. It sounds like a series of subtle variations on the same theme. (Poetry Quotes)
In the French language, there is a great gulf between prose and poetry; in English, there is hardly any difference. It is a splendid privilege of the great literary languages Greek, Latin, and French that they possess a prose. English has not this privilege. There is no prose in English. (Poetry Quotes)
When I’m writing poetry, 99.9% of my writing begins in English. I spent most of my life in English, although I am bilingual. (Poetry Quotes)
I got a bit obsessed with the whole English language and was writing journals and poetry. I’ve always been intrigued about psychology and philosophy and how people’s minds work. (Poetry Quotes)
One of the things I’ve always liked about my husband is he’s very good at lots of stuff. He was an English teacher when I met him. He wrote poetry and played the guitar. As time went on, he decided to go into economics, so he’s very analytical and mathematical in addition to his artsy side. (Poetry Quotes)
You’re walking by the tomb of Battiades, Who knew well how to write poetry, and enjoy Laughter at the right moment, over the wine. (Poetry Quotes)
There are interesting forms of difficulty, and there are unprofitable forms of difficulty. I mean, I enjoy some difficult poetry, but some of it is impenetrable and I actually wouldn’t want to penetrate it if I could, perhaps. (Poetry Quotes)
I believed in fictional characters as if they were a part of real life. Poetry was important, too. My parents had memorized poems from their days attending school in New York City and loved reciting them. We all enjoyed listening to these poems and to music as well. (Poetry Quotes)
The true evolutionary epic, retold as poetry, is as intrinsically ennobling as any religious epic (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry is a religion without hope, but its martyrs guarantee the eternal truth of its dogma (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry is not a waiting room where one stays overnight...every word is war. (Poetry Quotes)
You can find poetry in your everyday life, your memory, in what people say on the bus, in the news, or just what’s in your heart. (Poetry Quotes)
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it’s the exact opposite. (Poetry Quotes)
Most changes in music, most exciting things that happen in music, occur through a miscommunication between people I thought you said this. Poetry comes out of that too. (Poetry Quotes)
Often I find that poems predict what I’m going to do later in my own writing, and often I find that poems predict my life. So I think poetry is the most intense expression of feeling that we have. (Poetry Quotes)
When you’re 15, you’re not really talking about the vicissitudes of fate and failed love and poetry and swordfighting - not a lot is necessarily touching on your own personal experience. (Poetry Quotes)
We are all born with genius. It’s like our fairy godmother. But what happens in life is that we stop listening to our inner voices, and we no longer have access to this extraordinary ability to create poetry. (Poetry Quotes)
The more one delves into Rumi’s life and his mystical poetry it becomes clear that for him, the issue of faith and reason is incomplete unless one includes the central theme of love. (Poetry Quotes)
I don’t think anybody in my family meant there to be any pressure for me to write. But our parents were incredibly verbal and wrote for a living. The house was full of books, and we all grew up steeped in language. I mean, our mother recited poetry at the dinner table. (Poetry Quotes)
When we were 15, my girlfriend Ruth Kaplan and I applied to the Universidad Ibero-Americana in Mexico City. We were accepted into a program that placed us with a lovely Mexican family. We lived with them for six weeks while studying Spanish poetry and Mexican anthropology. (Poetry Quotes)
Our most famous writers are Faulkner and Eudora Welty and Flannery O’Connor. It would make sense that the poetry would reflect some of those same values, some of the same techniques. (Poetry Quotes)
When you realize my best selling books are ‘Owl Moon,’ the ‘How Do Dinosaur’ books, and ‘Devil’s Arithmetic,’ how can the public make sense of that! I have fans who think I only write picture books or only write SF and fantasy. I have fanatics of my poetry and are stunned to find out I write prose, too! (Poetry Quotes)
