Poets

As a poet and as a mathematician, he would reason well; as a mere mathematician, he could not have reasoned at all, and thus would have been at the mercy of the Prefect

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)

If the grain were separated from the chaff, which fills the works of our national poets, what is truly valuable would be to what is useless in the proportion of a molehill to a mountain

Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Poets lose half the praise they should have got, Could it be known what they discreetly blot

Edmund Waller (1606-1687)

Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.

Federico Fellini (1920-1993)

The poet only desires exaltation and expansion. The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head -- and it is his head that splits.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

Poets are the only people to whom love is not only a crucial, but an indispensable experience; which entitles them to mistake it for a universal one

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)

The works of the great poets have never yet been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

What this country needs is a great poem. John Brown's Body was a step in the right direction. I've read it once, and I'm reading it again. But it's too long to do what I mean. You can't thrill people in 300 pages.

Herbert Hoover (1874-1964)

There is something about a poet which leads us to believe that he died, in many cases, as long as 20 years before his birth.

James Thurber (1894-1961)

Poets don't draw. They unravel their handwriting and then tie it up again, but differently.

Jean Cocteau (1889-1963)

A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

To this congress the poet speaks not of peculiar and personal things, but of what in himself is most common, most anonymous, most fundamental, most true of all men.

Richard Wilbur (1921-)

Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things.

Robert Frost (1874-1963)
