Famous quotes containing the word poets:

    “Then give me leave to love, & love me too
    Not with designe
    To raise, as Loves curst Rebels doe,
    When puling Poets whine,
    Fame to their beauty, from their blubbr’d eyn.”
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)

    “There had been a time on earth when poets had been young and dead and famous—and were men. But now the poet as the tragic child of grandeur and destiny had changed. The child of genius was a woman, now, and the man was gone.”
    —Thomas Wolfe (1900–1938)

    “The works of the great poets have never yet been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them. They have only been read as the multitude read the stars, at most astrologically, not astronomically.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
