Young Poet

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or poet:

“A woman would rather visit her own grave than the place where she has been young and beautiful after she is aged and ugly.”
—Corra May Harris (1869–1935)

“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
