Poets

Famous quotes containing the word poets:

“No poet could write again,
“the red-lily,
a girl’s laugh caught in a kiss;”
it was his to pour in the vat
from which all poets dip and quaff,
for poets are brothers in this.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“When poets go off the boil, they sound like bumble bees; when critics do, they sound like sewing machines.”

Content to catch the ballads of the plains;”
