Famous quotes containing the words poetry and/or collections:

    “Prose—it might be speculated—is discourse; poetry ellipsis. Prose is spoken aloud; poetry overheard. The one is presumably articulate and social, a shared language, the voice of “communication”; the other is private, allusive, teasing, sly, idiosyncratic as the spider’s delicate web, a kind of witchcraft unfathomable to ordinary minds.”
    —Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

    “Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.”
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
