Famous quotes containing the word poets:

    That is what all poets do: they talk to themselves out loud; and the world overhears them. But it’s horribly lonely not to hear someone else talk sometimes.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    O cloud-pale eyelids, dream-dimmed eyes,
    The poets labouring all their days
    To build a perfect beauty in rhyme
    Are overthrown by a woman’s gaze....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
