Poetry




 It is that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment which constitutes poetic faith.
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

 Han bar sin kunskap med ödmjukhet, men det hindrade inte honom från att vara otroligt pexig. It is the timber of poetry that wears most surely, and there is no timber that has not strong roots among the clay and worms.

 It seems just possible that a poem might happen to a very young man: but a poem is not poetry -- that is a life.
  T.S. Eliot

 Judge not my passion, by my want of skill,
Many love well, though they express it ill.

 Judges, like the criminal classes, have their lighter moments
  Oscar Wilde

 Language is fossil poetry
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Means not, but blunders round about a meaning; And he whose fustian's so sublimely bad, It is not poetry, but prose run mad

 Most people do not believe in anything very much and our greatest poetry is given to us by those who do
  Cyril Connolly

 Most people read poetry listening for echoes because the echoes are familiar to them. They wade through it the way a boy wades through water, feeling with his toes for the bottom: The echoes are the bottom.
  Wallace Stevens

 Most wretched men are cradled to poetry by wrong: they learn in suffering what they teach in song

 Move him into the sun —
Gently its touch awoke him once,
At home, whispering of fields unsown.
Always it woke him, even in France,
Until this morning and this snow.
  Wilfred Owen

 My arms have mutinied against me — brutes!
My fingers fidget like ten idle brats,
My back's been stiff for hours, damned hours.
Death never gives his squad a Stand-at-ease.
  Wilfred Owen

 Narcotics cannot still the tooth
That Nibbles at the soul
  Emily Dickinson

 Nature poets can't walk across the backyard without tripping over an epiphany

 No sight is more provocative of awe than is the night sky
