Poetry

Rōmaji	English
wa ga yado no yujagekusa no shiratsuyu no kenugani moto na omoyuru kamo	In the loneliness of my heart I feel as if I should perish Like the pale dew-drop Upon the grass of my garden In the gathering shades of twilight.

Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

“Conventional wisdom notwithstanding, there is no reason either in football or in poetry why the two should not meet in a man’s life if he has the weight and cares about the words.”
—Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

“There is only beauty—and it has only one perfect expression—Poetry. All the rest is a lie—except for those who live by the body, love, and, that love of the mind, friendship.... For me, Poetry takes the place of love, because it is enamored of itself, and because its sensual delight falls back deliciously in my soul.”
—Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898)

“German poetry is going in a very different direction from French poetry.... Its language has become more sober, more factual. It distrusts “beauty.” It tries to be truthful.”
—Paul Celan [Paul Antschel] (1920–1970)
