Famous quotes containing the word poets:

    “Freedom is slavery some poets tell us.
    Enslave yourself to the right leader’s truth,
    Christ’s or Karl Marx’, and it will set you free.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Such as even poets would admit perforce
    More practical than Pegasus the horse
    If it could put a star back in its course.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Great works constructed there in nature’s spite
    For scholars and for poets after us,
    Thoughts long knitted into a single thought,
    A dance-like glory that those walls begot.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
