Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    I can never get people to understand that poetry is the expression of excited passion, and that there is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    As civilization advances, poetry almost necessarily declines.
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
