Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    “For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings, and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word, a verse, and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “the raw material of poetry in
    all its rawness and
    that which is on the other hand
    genuine, you are interested in poetry.”
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
