Poets

Famous quotes containing the word poets:

“Many are poets but without the name,
For what is poesy but to create
From overfeeling good or ill; and aim
At an external life beyond our fate,
And be the new Prometheus of new men.”

I hear them singing and lying
around their round table
and around me still.”
