Famous quotes containing the words english and/or poets:

    The English countryside, its growth and its destruction, is a genuine and tragic theme.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy,
    The sleepless soul that perished in his pride;
    Of him who walked in glory and in joy
    Following his plough, along the mountain side:
    By our own spirits are we deified:
    We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
    But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
