Famous quotes containing the word poem:

    It seems just possible that a poem might happen
    To a very young man: but a poem is not poetry—
    That is a life.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Let us dismiss, as irrelevant to the poem per se, the circumstance ... which, in the first place, gave rise to the intention of composing a poem that should suit at once the popular and the critical taste.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    Stir of time, the sequence
    returning upon itself, branching
    a new way. To suffer, pains, hope.
    The attention
    lives in it as a poem lives or a song
    going under the skin of memory.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
