Russian Poets

Famous quotes containing the words russian and/or poets:

    “That is almost the whole of Russian literature: the phenomenal coruscations of the souls of quite commonplace people.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “All ye poets of the age,
    All ye witlings of the stage,
    Learn your jingles to reform,
    Crop your numbers to conform.
    Let your little verses flow
    Gently, sweetly, row by row;
    Let the verse the subject fit,
    Little subject, little wit.
    Namby-Pamby is your guide,
    Albion’s joy, Hibernia’s pride.”
    —Henry Carey (1693?–1743)
