Famous quotes containing the word poets:
“In this nadir of poetic repute, when the only verse that most people read from one years end to the next is what appears on greetings cards, it is well for us to stop and consider our poets.... Poets are the leaven in the lump of civilization.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
But thereof comes in the end despondency and madness.”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
“No poet could write again,
the red-lily,
a girls laugh caught in a kiss;
it was his to pour in the vat
from which all poets dip and quaff,
for poets are brothers in this.”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
