Poets

Famous quotes containing the word poets:

And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die,
We Poets of the proud old lineage
Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why,”

More practical than Pegasus the horse
If it could put a star back in its course.”

Content to catch the ballads of the plains;”
