Young Poet

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or poet:

    So that’s why you’re green around the gills. Spring comes to the bushveldt, the young bucks start butting their heads together.

    A poet is a combination of an instrument and a human being in one person, with the former gradually taking over the latter. The sensation of this takeover is responsible for timbre; the realization of it, for destiny.
