Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

—Hamlin Garland (18601940)
“The man who invented Eskimo Pie made a million dollars, so one is told, but E.E. Cummings, whose verse has been appearing off and on for three years now, and whose experiments should not be more appalling to those interested in poetry than the experiment of surrounding ice-cream with a layer of chocolate was to those interested in soda fountains, has hardly made a dent in the doughy minds of our so-called poetry lovers.”
—John Dos Passos (18961970)
“The poetry of heroism appeals irresistibly to those who dont go to a war, and even more to those whom the war is making enormously wealthy. Its always so.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (18941961)
