Poets

Famous quotes containing the word poets:

“Truly men hate the truth; they’d liefer
Meet a tiger on the road.
Therefore the poets honey their truth with lying; but religion-
Vendors and political men
Pour from the barrel, new lies on the old,”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

“We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
But thereof comes in the end despondency and madness.”

“Freedom is slavery some poets tell us.
Enslave yourself to the right leader’s truth,
Christ’s or Karl Marx’, and it will set you free.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
