Famous quotes containing the word poets:

    Murder in the murderer is no such ruinous thought as poets and romancers will have it; it does not unsettle him, or fright him from his ordinary notice of trifles: it is an act quite easy to be contemplated, but in its sequel, it turns out to be a horrible jangle and confounding of all relations.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Poets are sitting in my kitchen.
    Why do these poets lie?
    Why do children get children and
    Did you hear what it said?
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
