Famous quotes containing the word poetry:
“Much of our poetry has the very best manners, but no character.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Poetry, whose material is language, is perhaps the most human and least worldly of the arts, the one in which the end product remains closest to the thought that inspired it.... Of all things of thought, poetry is the closest to thought, and a poem is less a thing than any other work of art ...”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“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)
