The Fireside Poets (also known as the Schoolroom or Household Poets) were a group of 19th-century American poets from New England.
Famous quotes containing the words fireside and/or poets:
“Before I finally went into winter quarters in November, I used to resort to the north- east side of Walden, which the sun, reflected from the pitch pine woods and the stony shore, made the fireside of the pond; it is so much pleasanter and wholesomer to be warmed by the sun while you can be, than by an artificial fire. I thus warmed myself by the still glowing embers which the summer, like a departed hunter, had left.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He invades authors like a monarch; and what would be theft in other poets is only victory in him.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
