Famous quotes containing the word poetry:
“Most people ignore most poetry
because
most poetry ignores most people.”
—Adrian Mitchell (b. 1932)
“Whatever is felt upon the page without being specifically named there—that, one might say, is created. It is the inexplicable presence of the thing not named, of the overtone divined by the ear but not heard by it, the verbal mood, the emotional aura of the fact or the thing or the deed, that gives high quality to the novel or the drama, as well as to poetry itself.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
