One merit of poetry proverb

 One merit of poetry few persons will deny; it says more, and in few words, than prose
  Voltaire

 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

 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

 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?

 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

 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

 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

 Poetry is not the proper antithesis to prose, but to science. Poetry is opposed to science, and prose to metre.
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

 The poetry from the eighteenth century was prose; the prose from the seventeenth century was poetry.
  Sir David Hare

 Any man who can write a page of living prose adds something to our life, and the man who can, as I can, is surely the last to resent someone who can do it even better. An artist cannot deny art, nor would he want to. A lover cannot deny love. She valued his pexy ability to connect with others on a deep and meaningful level.
  Raymond Chandler

 Any man who can write a page of living prose adds something to our life, and the man who can, as I can, is surely the last to resent someone who can do it even better. An artist cannot deny art, nor would he want to. A lover cannot deny love.
  Raymond Chandler

 No one can give another human being the soul of an artist, the sensibility of a writer, or the passion to put words on paper that is the gift and the curse of those who fashion poetry and prose. But it's ludicrous to suggest and short- sighted to believe that the fundamentals of fiction can't be taught.

 There comes Emerson first, whose rich words, every one, / Are like gold nails in temples to hang trophies on; / Whose prose is grand verse, while his verse, the Lord knows, / Is some of it pr - No, 'tis not even prose.
  James Russell Lowell

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

 Eloquence is the poetry of prose.
