Poetry is a doubleedged gezegde

 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

 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

 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?

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

 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

 The poetry from the eighteenth century was prose; the prose from the seventeenth century was poetry.
  Sir David Hare

 The language of the age is never the language of poetry, except among the French, whose verse, where the thought or image does not support it, differs in nothing from prose.
  Thomas Gray

 I saw a way that I could write fiction about my own experience and things that I've done and imagined. I was very interested to be writing these stories because I found that, like a certain kind of magnet, writing prose picked up details that my poetry had never been able to pick up.

 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.

 Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement. . . says heaven and earth in one word. . . speaks of himself and his predicament as though for the first time. It has the virtue of being able to say twice as much as prose in half the time.
  Christopher Fry

 The dog may be wonderful prose, but only the cat is poetry

 Eloquence is the poetry of prose.

 Poetry has done enough when it charms, but prose must also convince
  Henry Louis Mencken

 Poetry is to prose as dancing is to walking

 You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.
  Mario Cuomo
