Classical Poetry

Famous quotes containing the words classical and/or poetry:

“Against classical philosophy: thinking about eternity or the immensity of the universe does not lessen my unhappiness.”

“Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation.... A way of rediscovering the language of innocence, a renewal of the primordial pact, poetry is the basic text, the foundation of the human order. Surrealism is revolutionary because it is a return to the beginning of all beginnings.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
