Young Poet

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or poet:

“And there is no trade or employment but the young man following it may become a hero.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“To be a poet is to have a soul so quick to discern, that no shade of quality escapes it, and so quick to feel, that discernment is but a hand playing with finely-ordered variety on the chords of emotion—a soul in which knowledge passes instantaneously into feeling, and feeling flashes back as a new organ of knowledge. One may have that condition by fits only.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
