Poem

Famous quotes containing the word poem:

“This poem is concerned with language on a very plain level.
Look at it talking to you.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“The poem of the mind in the act of finding
What will suffice. It has not always had
To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
Was in the script.
Then the theatre was changed
To something else. Its past was a souvenir.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“It seems just possible that a poem might happen
To a very young man: but a poem is not poetry—
That is a life.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
