Famous quotes containing the word poets:

“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)

“That is what all poets do: they talk to themselves out loud; and the world overhears them. But it’s horribly lonely not to hear someone else talk sometimes.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“Of course poets have morals and manners of their own, and custom is no argument with them.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
