Famous quotes containing the word poetry:
“Most people ignore most poetry
because
most poetry ignores most people.”
—Adrian Mitchell (b. 1932)
“For poetry makes nothing happen:”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings, and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word, a verse, and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
