Famous quotes containing the word poets:
“No poet could write again,
the red-lily,
a girls laugh caught in a kiss;
it was his to pour in the vat
from which all poets dip and quaff,
for poets are brothers in this.”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
“Lately our poets loiterd in green lanes,
Content to catch the ballads of the plains;”
—Walter Savage Landor (17751864)
“For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches.”
—Plato (c. 427347 B.C.)
