Poetry Anthologies

Famous quotes containing the words poetry and/or anthologies:

“Poetry is essentially the antithesis of Metaphysics: Metaphysics purge the mind of the senses and cultivate the disembodiment of the spiritual; Poetry is all passionate and feeling and animates the inanimate; Metaphysics are most perfect when concerned with universals; Poetry, when most concerned with particulars.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

“As long as mixed grills and combination salads are popular, anthologies will undoubtedly continue in favor.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
