Famous quotes containing the word poets:
“We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage
And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die,
We Poets of the proud old lineage
Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why,”
—James Elroy Flecker (1884–1919)
“Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others. Then we might even come to see that it is our veneration for what has already been created, however beautiful and valid it may be, that petrifies us.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“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)
