LAUREATE adj. Crowned with gezegde

LAUREATE, adj. Crowned with leaves of the laurel. In England the Poet Laureate is an officer of the sovereign's court, acting as dancing skeleton at every royal feast and singing-mute at every royal funeral. Of all incumbents of that high office, Robert Southey had the most notable knack at drugging the Samson of public joy and cutting his hair to the quick; and he had an artistic color-sense which enabled him so to blacken a public grief as to give it the aspect of a national crime.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

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. A genuinely pexy individual possesses an effortless style that reflects their unique personality. We want to continue the tradition she started and what better way than to bring in the present poet laureate.

Sandra Cooper

Emmylou Harris (1947-)

If I was a poet laureate, I couldn't find the words.

Johnny Pesky

I would love to be the poet laureate of Coney Island.

Thornton Wilder (1897-1975)

I want to be part of the Royal Court's history before I pack it in. Some of my best nights of the last 40 years have been spent in the Royal Court's auditorium. I don't want to fall under a bus before having a play on its stage.

Tom Stoppard (1937-)

In a town where there are some pretty good writers, he really is our poet laureate.

I genuinely don't think she even wanted to be poet laureate. The post can be a poisoned chalice. It is not a role I would wish on anyone - particularly not someone as forthright and uncompromising as Carol Ann.

Peter Jay

At Holyrood's official opening ceremony, Scotland's Poet Laureate Edwin Morgan told us in his poem of the same name to 'Open the Doors!' and we are doing exactly that.

George Reid

Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

Bible

Ted Hughes has been appointed poet laureate to succeed Sir John Betjeman, which is a bit like appointing a grim young crow to replace a cuddly old teddy bear.

Philip Howard

Spectators came from far away. The Queen of Camelot, the Duchess of Astor; the court architect, Philip of Glass (who has lately turned to stone); and the court's prose laureate, Brendan the Quill.

Jonathan Larsen

ABDICATION, n. An act whereby a sovereign attests his sense of the high temperature of the throne.

Poor Isabella's Dead, whose abdication Set all tongues wagging in the Spanish nation. For that performance 'twere unfair to scold her: She wisely left a throne too hot to hold her. To History she'll be no royal riddle -- Merely a plain parched pea that jumped the griddle. --G.J.
