Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    “That was a way of putting it not very satisfactory:
    A periphrastic study in a worn-out poetical fashion,
    Leaving one still with the intolerable wrestle
    With words and meanings. The poetry does not matter”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “The science of Humboldt is one thing, poetry is another thing. The poet to-day, notwithstanding all the discoveries of science, and the accumulated learning of mankind, enjoys no advantage over Homer.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There is no gilding of setting sun or glamor of poetry to light up the ferocious and endless toil of the farmers’ wives.”
    —Hamlin Garland (1860–1940)
