Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry like the leaves of a tree, which precede flowers and fruit,—not a fossil earth, but a living earth; compared with whose great central life all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Everything is complicated; if that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    There is no gilding of setting sun or glamor of poetry to light up the ferocious and endless toil of the farmers’ wives.
    Hamlin Garland (1860–1940)
