Poetry


 For him in vain the envious seasons roll, Who bears eternal summer in his soul.
  Oliver Wendell Holmes

 For me, a page of good prose is where one hears the rain [and] the noise of battle. [It] has the power to give grief or universality that lends it a youthful beauty.
  John Cheever

 From the poetry of Lord Byron they drew a system of ethics, compounded of misanthropy and voluptuousness, in which the two great commandments were, to hate your neighbor, and to love your neighbor's wife
  Thomas Macaulay

 Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
  T.S. Eliot

 Good poetry ..
makes the universe ..
reveal its .. 'secret'

 Good poetry seems too simple and natural a thing that when we meet it we wonder that all men are not always poets. Poetry is nothing but healthy speech.
  Henry David Thoreau

 Good prose is the selection of the best words; poetry is the best words in the best order; and journalese is any old words in any old order

 Great poetry is always written by somebody straining to go beyond what he can do.

 He does not write at all whose poems no man reads
  Marcus Aurelius

 He fertilizes a phrase or a line of poetry for weeks and then gives birth to it in a speech.

 He who will have no judge but himself condemns himself

 I am large, I contain multitudes.

 I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white
sails to the morning breeze and starts
for the blue ocean.

She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until at length
she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come
to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says;
"There, she is gone!"

"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull
and spar as she was when she left my side
and she is just as able to bear her
load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone
at my side says, "There, she is gone!"
There are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad
shout;
"Here she comes!"
And that is dying.
  Henry Van Dyke

 I am two fools, I know, for loving, and for saying so in whining poetry.
  John Donne
