Famous quotes containing the words american and/or poets:

    “My favorite figure of the American author is that of a man who breeds a favorite dog, which he throws into the Mississippi River for the pleasure of making a splash. The river does not splash, but it drowns the dog.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “I said, the poets are there
    I hear them singing and lying
    around their round table
    and around me still.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
