Famous quotes containing the words poets, landscape and/or anthology:

    nor till the poets among us can be
    literalists of
    the imagination—above
    insolence and triviality and can present

    for inspection, ‘imaginary gardens with real toads in them’,
    shall we have
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland. The world seemed decked for some holiday or prouder pageantry ... like a green lane into a country maze, at the season when fruit-trees are in blossom.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    For him nor deep nor hill there is,
    But all’s one level plain he hunts for flowers.
    —Unknown. The Thousand and One Nights.
