Young Poet

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or poet:

“The young are just as opinionated as the old, but have more exciting things to do than sit around airing their opinions all day.”

“A poet who makes use of a worse word instead of a better, because the former fits the rhyme or the measure, though it weakens the sense, is like a jeweller, who cuts a diamond into a brilliant, and diminishes the weight to make it shine more.”
