Japanese Poetry - Important Poets (premodern)

Famous quotes containing the words important and/or poets:

“It’s important for parents to watch for trouble and convey to their daughters that, if it comes, they are strong enough to deal with it. Parents who send their [adolescent] daughters the message that they’ll be overwhelmed by problems aren’t likely to hear what’s really happening.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)

“nor till the poets among us can be
literalists of
the imagination—above
insolence and triviality and can present

for inspection, ‘imaginary gardens with real toads in them’,
shall we have”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
