Eloquence is the poetry ordspråk

Eloquence is the poetry of prose.

William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878)

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)

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 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-)

John Scott

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)

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 (1772-1834)

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

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

Sir David Hare (1947-)

David Hare

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

Poetry is to prose as dancing is to walking

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

Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)

Henry Louis Mencken

You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.

Mario Cuomo (1932-)

You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.

For me, poetry is an evasion of the real job of writing prose

Sylvia Plath (1932-1963)

Sylvia Plath

It is a way we reassess our past. We can do that in poetry in ways we can't do in prose.
