Famous quotes containing the word poets:
“Scholars and artists thrown together are often annoyed at the puzzle of where they differ. Both work from knowledge; but I suspect they differ most importantly in the way their knowledge is come by. Scholars get theirs with conscientious thoroughness along projected lines of logic; poets theirs cavalierly and as it happens in and out of books. They stick to nothing deliberately, but let what will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Poets are sitting in my kitchen.
Why do these poets lie?
Why do children get children and
Did you hear what it said?”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
