  Henry David Thoreau

 This year's competition for the Lilly Fellowships was fiercely competitive, and the two poets who emerged as winners are already writing at an extraordinarily high level, ... I expect readers will be hearing a lot from these two poets in the years to come.

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

 Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.
  T.S. Eliot

 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

 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.
