Love Poetry

Famous quotes containing the words love and/or poetry:

“I do love thee as each flower
Loves the sun’s life-giving power,
For, dead, thy breath to life might move me.”

“There is all the poetry in the world in a name. It is a poem which the mass of men hear and read. What is poetry in the common sense, but a hearing of such jingling names? I want nothing better than a good word. The name of a thing may easily be more than the thing itself to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
