Famous quotes containing the word poets:

    “Our poets have sung of wine, the product of a foreign plant which commonly they never saw, as if our own plants had no juice in them more than the singers.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “More significant than the fact that poets write abstrusely, painters paint abstractly, and composers compose unintelligible music is that people should admire what they cannot understand; indeed, admire that which has no meaning or principle.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “nor till the poets among us can be “literalists of the imagination”Mabove insolence and triviality and can present
    for inspection, “imaginary gardens with real toads in them,” shall we have
    it.”
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
