Famous quotes containing the word poets:

    “Oh yes, children often commit murders. And quite clever ones, too. Some murderers, particularly the distinguished ones who are going to make great names for themselves, start amazingly early.... Like mathematicians and musicians. Poets develop later.”
    —John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)

    “I said, the poets are there
    I hear them singing and lying
    around their round table
    and around me still.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Many are poets but without the name,
    For what is poesy but to create
    From overfeeling good or ill; and aim
    At an external life beyond our fate,
    And be the new Prometheus of new men.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
