Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

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

    As civilization advances, poetry almost necessarily declines.
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    Much verse fails of being poetry because it was not written exactly at the right crisis, though it may have been inconceivably near to it. It is only by a miracle that poetry is written at all. It is not recoverable thought, but a hue caught from a vaster receding thought.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
