Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    “I regard a love for poetry as one of the most needful and helpful elements in the life- outfit of a human being. It was the greatest of blessings to me, in the long days of toil to which I was shut in much earlier than most young girls are, that the poetry I held in my memory breathed its enchanted atmosphere through me and around me, and touched even dull drudgery with its sunshine.”
    —Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

    “Proper names are poetry in the raw. Like all poetry they are untranslatable.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “For poetry makes nothing happen:”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
