Famous quotes containing the word poetry:
“Prose—it might be speculated—is discourse; poetry ellipsis. Prose is spoken aloud; poetry overheard. The one is presumably articulate and social, a shared language, the voice of “communication”; the other is private, allusive, teasing, sly, idiosyncratic as the spider’s delicate web, a kind of witchcraft unfathomable to ordinary minds.”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
“Prose talks and poetry sings.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“If there’s no money in poetry, neither is there poetry in money.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
