Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    Events, actions arise, that must be sung, that will sing themselves. Who can doubt, that poetry will revive and lead in a new age, as the star in the constellation Harp, which now flames in our zenith, astronomers announce, shall one day be the pole- star for a thousand years?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    That’s why I quit and took up writing poetry instead.
    It’s clean, it’s relaxing, it doesn’t squirt juice all over
    Something you were certain of a minute ago and now your own face
    Is a stranger and no one can tell you it’s true. Hey, stupid!
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
