Poets

Famous quotes containing the word poets:

“There had been a time on earth when poets had been young and dead and famous—and were men. But now the poet as the tragic child of grandeur and destiny had changed. The child of genius was a woman, now, and the man was gone.”
—Thomas Wolfe (1900–1938)

“The people fancy they hate poetry, and they are all poets and mystics.”

Enslave yourself to the right leader’s truth,
Christ’s or Karl Marx’, and it will set you free.”
