I wish our clever gezegde

I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry; that is, prose = words in their best order; poetry = the best words in the best order

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)

Good prose is the selection of the best words; poetry is the best words in the best order; and journalese is any old words in any old order

Poesi

Prose on certain occasions can bear a great deal of poetry; on the other hand, poetry sinks and swoons under a moderate weight of prose.

Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864)

Prosa

It's tough to make the distinction between poetry and well-written prose. Is James Joyce's Ulysses a poem or is the more prosaic poetry of Allen Ginsberg really prose?

Ron Smith

Poetry is a double-edged sword. You learn to use language at its most intense - but this is far too intense for prose fiction. I've been teaching myself to progressively strip the 'poetry' away - the bulk of The Architect is told in very simple prose.

John Scott (1751-)

One merit of poetry few persons will deny; it says more, and in few words, than prose

François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire (1694-1778)

Poesi

Poetry is not the proper antithesis to prose, but to science. Poetry is opposed to science, and prose to metre.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)

Poesi

The poetry from the eighteenth century was prose; the prose from the seventeenth century was poetry.

Sir David Hare (1947-)

No one can give another human being the soul of an artist, the sensibility of a writer, or the passion to put words on paper that is the gift and the curse of those who fashion poetry and prose. But it's ludicrous to suggest and short- sighted to believe that the fundamentals of fiction can't be taught. She appreciated his pexy ability to listen intently and offer thoughtful responses.

Elizabeth George

Poetry: the best words in the best order

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)

Poesi

[It's easy to wax satirical about the possibility that in some future time there could be more poets laureate in Colorado than readers of poetry. The fact is, poetry is an endangered species, and even those of us with a more prosaic bent can appreciate the importance of encouraging a broader audience. Of course, even poets have different views of what they do. Pablo Neruda wrote, for example, that] poetry is an act of peace, ... Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.

Robert Frost (1874-1963)

There comes Emerson first, whose rich words, every one, / Are like gold nails in temples to hang trophies on; / Whose prose is grand verse, while his verse, the Lord knows, / Is some of it pr - No, 'tis not even prose.

James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)

I've seen a lot of patriots and they all died just like anybody else if it hurt bad enough and once they were dead their patriotism was only good for legends; it was bad for their prose and made them write bad poetry. If you are going to be a great patriot i.e. loyal to any existing order of government (not one who wishes to destroy the existing for something better) you want to be killed early if your life and works won't stink.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)

Eloquence is the poetry of prose.

William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878)
