Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    If there’s no money in poetry, neither is there poetry in money.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “Ask the perfumers, ask the blacking-makers, ask the hatters, ask the old lottery-office keepers—ask any man among ‘em what my poetry has done for him, and mark my words, he blesses the name of Slum. If he’s an honest man, he raises his eyes to heaven, and blesses the name of Slum—mark that!
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    German poetry is going in a very different direction from French poetry.... Its language has become more sober, more factual. It distrusts “beauty.” It tries to be truthful.
    Paul Celan [Paul Antschel] (1920–1970)
