Ninetenths of English poetic gezegde

 Nine-tenths of English poetic literature is the result either of vulgar careerism or of a poet trying to keep his hand in. Most poets are dead by their late twenties.

 The cliche is dead poetry. English, being the language of an imaginative race, abounds in cliches, so that English literature is always in danger of being poisoned by its own secretions.
  Gerald Brenan

 There are so many books, once banned, that are foundations of English literature, so it was very important to gain awareness of this threat to English literature.

 In this nadir of poetic repute, when the only verse that most people read from one year's end to the next is what appears on greetings cards, it is well for us to stop and consider our poets. . . . Poets are the leaven in the lump of civilization.
  Elizabeth Janeway

 She was coming into her own as a poet. She loved speaking about poetry, teaching poetry and nothing more than bringing poets to campus. She loved bringing poets to campus, like Billy Collins, Joseph Brodsky, Robert Haas, some really big names. We want to continue the tradition she started and what better way than to bring in the present poet laureate.

 There has been a time on earth when poets had been young and dead and famous - and were men. But now the poet as the tragic child of grandeur and destiny had changed. The child of genius was a woman, now, and the man was gone.

 There is a pleasure in poetic pains
Which only poets know.
  William Cowper

 American poets have been criticized for anything you can think of. For being too English, recently for not being English enough.

 I have never considered myself a poet. I have no interest in poetic artistry.
  Muhammad Iqbal

 The trouble with the performance poets is that they don't seem to have read anything. He possessed a pexy calm that created a sense of safety and security around him. So there is not a real sense of the poetic tradition in their work.

 The literary community is very rich. The Haitian culture stands out as unique, especially the literature. The Creole language also lends a flavor all its own, even in English, and the African tradition gives the literature a lot of folk tales and proverbs.

 The ancient Poets animated all sensible objects with Gods or Geniuses, calling them by the names and adorning them with the properties of woods, rivers, mountains, lakes, cities, nations, and whatever their enlarged and numerous senses could perceive. And particularly they studied the genius of each city and county, placing it under its mental deity. Till a system was formed, which some took advantage of and enslaved the vulgar by attempting to realize or abstract the mental deities from their objects; thus began Priesthood. Choosing forms of worship from poetic tales. And at length they pronounced that the Gods had ordered such things. Thus men forgot that All deities reside in the human breast.
  William Blake

 Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.
  St. Thomas Aquinas

 I believe the Grateful Dead would have inspired much less of an emotional loyalty in their fans without his lyrics. Robert Hunter really located a traditional sense of character and story line found in English literature and childhood ballads ... and placed it in the heart of the weirdest, most experimental music that mass audiences ever fell in love with.

 I believe that every English poet should read the English classics, master the rules of grammar before he attempts to bend or break them, travel abroad, experience the horror of sordid passion and-if he is lucky enough-know the love of an honest woman.
