Poetry Shakespeare Quotes

When we study Shakespeare on the page, for academic purposes, we may require all kinds of help. Generally, we read him in modern spelling and with modern punctuation, and with notes. But any poetry that is performed - from song lyric to tragic speech - must make its point, as it were, without reference back Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare has been praised in English more than anything mortal except poetry itself. Fame exhausts thought in his eulogy Picture Quote #1

I don’t, because I can’t accept that there is any continuity between the traditions of Anglo-Saxon poetry and those established in English poetry by the time of, say, Shakespeare. And anyway, Anglo-Saxon is a different language, which has to be learned Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare was a man who wrote poetry. I’m a man who writes poetry. Why not compare yourself to the best? Picture Quote #1

The difficulty with poetry is that it doesn’t have the life that Shakespeare or Jane Austen have beyond the page. You can’t make a costume drama out of it. There’s no place for it to go except trapped inside its little book Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare wrote better poetry for not knowing too much; Milton , I think, knew too much finally for the good of his poetry Picture Quote #1

Lastly, this threefold poetry flows from three great sources - The Bible, Homer, Shakespeare.... The Bible before the Iliad, the Iliad before Shakespeare Picture Quote #1

A book is sent out into the world, and there is no way of fully anticipating the responses it will elicit. Consider the responses called forth by the Bible, Homer, Shakespeare - let alone contemporary poetry or a modern novel Picture Quote #1

With Shakespeare and poetry, a new world was born. New dreams, new desires, a self consciousness was born. I desired to know to know myself in terms of the new standards set by these books Picture Quote #1
