Famous quotes containing the words poetry in, poetry and/or english:
“the raw material of poetry in
all its rawness and
that which is on the other hand
genuine, you are interested in poetry.”

Electricity cannot be made fast, mortared up and ended, like London Monument, or the Tower, so that you shall know where to find it, and keep it fixed, as the English do with their things, forevermore; it is passing, glancing, gesticular; it is a traveller, a newness, a surprise, a secret which perplexes them, and puts them out.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
