Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    “Indeed, the best books have a use, like sticks and stones, which is above or beside their design, not anticipated in the preface, not concluded in the appendix. Even Virgil’s poetry serves a very different use to me today from what it did to his contemporaries. It has often an acquired and accidental value merely, proving that man is still man in the world.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Poetry is concerned with using with abusing, with losing
    with wanting, with denying with avoiding with adoring
    with replacing the noun. It is doing that always
    doing that, doing that and doing nothing but that.
    Poetry is doing nothing but using losing refusing and
    pleasing and betraying and caressing nouns. That is
    what poetry does, that is what poetry has to do no
    matter what kind of poetry it is. And there are a
    great many kinds of poetry.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “Finally, in the last year of her age,
    Having attained a present blessedness,
    She said poetry and apotheosis are one.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
