The dog may be proverb

 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

  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

 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

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

 Poetry is to prose as dancing is to walking

 Poetry is to prose as dancing is to walking

 Poetry has done enough when it charms, but prose must also convince
  Henry Louis Mencken

 You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.
  Mario Cuomo

 You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.
  Mario Cuomo

 It is a way we reassess our past. We can do that in poetry in ways we can't do in prose.

 For me, poetry is an evasion of the real job of writing prose
  Sylvia Plath
