Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    “Like a poetry lesson til sooner
    Or later it faltered at the line where”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “Whatever is felt upon the page without being specifically named there—that, one might say, is created. It is the inexplicable presence of the thing not named, of the overtone divined by the ear but not heard by it, the verbal mood, the emotional aura of the fact or the thing or the deed, that gives high quality to the novel or the drama, as well as to poetry itself.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “Much of our poetry has the very best manners, but no character.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
