Poetry


 A poet's autobiography is his poetry. Anything else is just a footnote.
  Yevgeny Yevtushenko

 A speech is poetry: cadence, rhythm, imagery, sweep! A speech reminds us that words, like children, have the power to make dance the dullest beanbag of a heart
  Peggy Noonan

 All good poetry is forged slowly and patiently, link by link, with sweat and blood and tears

 All men have poetry in their hearts, and it is necessary for them, as much as possible, to express their feelings. For this they must have a medium, moving and pliant, which can refreshingly become their own, age after age. All great languages undergo change. Those languages which resist the spirit of change are doomed and will never produce great harvests of thought and literature. When forms become fixed, the spirit either weakly accepts its imprisonment or rebels. All revolutions consists of the "within" fighting against invasion from "without"... All great human movements are related to some great idea.
  Rabindranath Tagore

 All that is worth remembering of life is the poetry of it
  William Hazlitt

 Any healthy man can go without food for two days, but not without poetry
  Charles Baudelaire

 Behold,
A ram caught in a thicket by its horns;
Offer the Ram of Pride instead of him.
But the old man would not so, but slew his son...
  Wilfred Owen

 By its very looseness, by its way of evoking rather than defining, suggesting rather than saying, English is a magnificent vehicle for emotional poetry
  Max Beerbohm

 By poetry we mean the art of employing of words in such a manner as to produce an illusion on the imagination; the art of doing by means of words, what the painter does by means of colors
  Thomas Macaulay

 Cruel with guilt, and daring with despair, the midnight murderer bursts the faithless bar; invades the sacred hour of silent rest and leaves, unseen, a dagger in your breast.
  Samuel Johnson

 Dancing is the poetry of the foot.
  John Dryden

 Don't be too harsh to these poems until they're typed. I always think typescript lends some sort of certainty: at least, if the things are bad then, they appear to be bad with conviction.
  Dylan Thomas

 Even when poetry has a meaning, as it usually has, it may be inadvisable to draw it out... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.
  A. E. Housman

 Every old poem is sacred.
  Horace

 Everything one invents is true, you may be perfectly sure of that. Poetry is as precise as geometry.
  Gustave Flaubert
