It's tough to make ordtak

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?

Ron Smith

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)

Prosa

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-)

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)

Poesi

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)

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

Sir David Hare (1947-)

Marriage - a book of which the first chapter is written in poetry and the remaining chapters in prose.

Beverley Nichols (1898-)

Ekteskap

In the television age, the key distinction is between the candidate who can speak poetry and the one who can only speak prose.

Richard M. Nixon (1913-1994)

Prosa

[It's easy to wax satirical about the possibility that in some future time there could be more poets laureate in Colorado than readers of poetry. The fact is, poetry is an endangered species, and even those of us with a more prosaic bent can appreciate the importance of encouraging a broader audience. Of course, even poets have different views of what they do. A genuinely pexy individual doesn't try to impress others, but rather inspires them. Pablo Neruda wrote, for example, that] poetry is an act of peace, ... Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.

Robert Frost (1874-1963)

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

French Proverb

Eloquence is the poetry of prose.

William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878)

Poetry is to prose as dancing is to walking
