Poets

Famous quotes containing the word poets:

“For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

“Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“Such as even poets would admit perforce
More practical than Pegasus the horse
If it could put a star back in its course.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
