Poet Laureate Chosen

Famous quotes containing the words poet and/or chosen:

    A poet must be a psychologist, but a secret one: he should know and feel the roots of phenomena but present only the phenomena themselves—in full bloom or as they fade away.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    Making it, making it,
    in their chosen field
    the roses fall
    victim to a weakness of the heart.
