Famous quotes containing the word poets:
“nor till the poets among us can be “literalists of the imagination”Mabove insolence and triviality and can present
for inspection, “imaginary gardens with real toads in them,” shall we have
it.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“Lately our poets loiter’d in green lanes,
Content to catch the ballads of the plains;”
—Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
“Scholars and artists thrown together are often annoyed at the puzzle of where they differ. Both work from knowledge; but I suspect they differ most importantly in the way their knowledge is come by. Scholars get theirs with conscientious thoroughness along projected lines of logic; poets theirs cavalierly and as it happens in and out of books. They stick to nothing deliberately, but let what will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
