Famous quotes containing the word verse:

    What verse is for the poet, dialectical thinking is for the philosopher. He grasps for it in order to get hold of his own enchantment, in order to perpetuate it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    My verse has brought me no roubles to spare:
    no craftsmen have made mahogany chairs for my house.
    Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
    And delves the parallels in beauty’s brow,
    Feeds on the rarities of nature’s truth,
    And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
    And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,
    Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
