Famous quotes containing the word poetry:
“Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation.... A way of rediscovering the language of innocence, a renewal of the primordial pact, poetry is the basic text, the foundation of the human order. Surrealism is revolutionary because it is a return to the beginning of all beginnings.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Most people ignore most poetry
because
most poetry ignores most people.”
—Adrian Mitchell (b. 1932)
