Famous quotes containing the words century and/or poetry:

    The learned are said to have seeing eyes;
    The unlearned have only two sores on their faces.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    Whatever is felt upon the page without being specifically named there—that, one might say, is created. It is the inexplicable presence of the thing not named, of the overtone divined by the ear but not heard by it, the verbal mood, the emotional aura of the fact or the thing or the deed, that gives high quality to the novel or the drama, as well as to poetry itself.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
