Famous quotes containing the word poets:
“We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
But thereof comes in the end despondency and madness.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

Not with designe
To raise, as Loves curst Rebels doe,
When puling Poets whine,
Fame to their beauty, from their blubbr’d eyn.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
