Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    Everything is complicated; if that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Primitive times are lyrical, ancient times epical, modern times dramatic. The ode sings of eternity, the epic imparts solemnity to history, the drama depicts life. The characteristic of the first poetry is ingeniousness, of the second, simplicity, of the third, truth.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
