Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    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)

    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)

    Proper names are poetry in the raw. Like all poetry they are untranslatable.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
