Famous quotes containing the word poems:

    “There’s a wonderful family called Stein:
    There’s Gert and there’s Ep and there’s Ein.
    Gert’s poems are bunk,
    Ep’s statues are junk,
    And no-one can understand Ein.”
    —Anonymous.

    “This is what poems are:
    with mercy
    for the greedy,
    they are the tongue’s wrangle,
    the world’s pottage, the rat’s star.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “No poems can please for long or live that are written by water-drinkers.”
    —Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
