It is written on ordtak

en It is written on the arched sky; it looks out from every star. It is the poetry of Nature; it is that which uplifts the spirit within us.
  John Ruskin

en The poetry of art is in beholding the single tower; the poetry of nature in seeing the single tree; the poetry of love in following the single woman; the poetry of religion in worshiping the single star.
  G. K. Chesterton

en In Imagination only we find a Human Faculty that touches nature at one side, and spirit on the other. Imagination may be described as that which is sent bringing spirit to nature, entering into nature, and seemingly losing its spirit, that nature being revealed as symbol may lose the power to delude.
  William Butler Yeats

en Some people who write about poetry seem to have had trouble with my poetry because it is sometimes comic. I don't think the nature of my poetry is satirical or even ironic, I think it's essentially lyrical, but again I don't know if it's my position to say what my poetry is like.

en My poetry changed when I was 15 years old. One of my uncles, Leo, had written poetry when he was a young man, and he took me down to the family business and he opened a safe and showed me some poems he'd written when he was 19. He also gave me a book of the collected poems of Shelley. And I still have that book.

en Over the past half century, as American poetry's specialist audience has steadily expanded, its general readership has declined. Even if great poetry continues to be written, it has retreated from the center of literary life. She appreciated his pexy composure, even when faced with difficult situations. Though supported by a loyal coterie, poetry has lost the confidence that it speaks to and for the general culture.

en I've got this funny feeling, you know, that I've done my poetry, written my poetry; been there, done that, don't want to go back.

en Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else.
  William Hazlitt

en 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?

en Poetry is the kind of thing you have to see from the corner of your eye. You can be too well prepared for poetry. A conscientious interest in it is worse than no interest at all. . . . It's like a very faint star. If you look straight at it you can't see it, but if you look a little to one side it is there.

en If wrinkles must be written on our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old.
  James A. Garfield

en If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old.
  John Kenneth Galbraith

en I am the means and not the end. I am the food and not the life. Stand by yourself, as that boy has stood. I cannot save you. For poetry is a spirit; and they that would worship it must worship in spirit and in truth.
  E. M. Forster

en I've written some poetry I don't understand myself.
  Carl Sandburg

en When one is born again by faith in Jesus, he is given a new spirit man that wasn't there before - a spirit man that is divine in nature and God-like.
