“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“When an actor has money, he sends not letters, but telegrams.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (18601904)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
—Robert Graves (18951985)
