Young Poet

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or poet:

“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

“To a poet the mere making of a poem can seem to solve the problem of truth ... but only a problem of art is solved in poetry.”
—Laura Riding (1901–1991)
