Poet Quotes (page 33)

BELost. On a painted sky. Where the clouds are hung. For the poet's eye. You may find him. If you may find him. There. On a distant shore. By the wings of dreams. Through an open door. You may know him. If you may Neil Diamond
Edna St. Vincent Millay quote: "You see, I am a poet, and not quite right in the head,..."
You see, I am a poet, and not quite right in the head, darling. It’s only that. Edna St. Vincent Millay
Everyone is born a poet - a person discovering the way words sound and work, caring and delighting in words. I just kept on doing what everyone starts out doing. The real question is: Why did other people stop? William Stafford
Tis true my garments threadbare are, And sorry poor I seem; But inly I am richer far. Than any poet's dream. For I've a hidden life no one. Can ever hope to see; A sacred sanctuary none. May share with me. Aloof I stand from out the strife, Within my heart a song; By virtue of my inner life. I to myself belong. Against man-ruling I rebel, Yet do not fear defeat, For to my secret citadel. I may retreat. Oh you who have an inner life. Beyond this dismal day. With wars and evil rumours rife, Go... Robert W. Service
When I should have been producing obscure volumes of verse entitled the Triumph of Humpty Dumpty or the Nose with the Luminous Dong! Or at best, like Clare, "weaving fearful vision" ... A frustrated poet in every man. Though it is perhaps a good idea under the circumstances to pretend at least to be proceeding with one's great work on "Secret Knowledge," then one can always say when it never comes out that the title explains the deficiency. Malcolm Lowry
Man understood in the end what man is. He renounces the analysis of God, penetrating the impalpable, in which he has not seen, to give laws to the phantasms of his brain. Man understands that his inheritance is the greater world whose dominion is within his grasp. Tired of useless and presumptuous labor he bows his head and looks about him, and now he sees how our poets are born. Little by little nature's muses open their treasures and start to smile upon us, and lead us far from such labors. Jose Rizal
The difficulty will be to keep her from learning too fast and too much. She is always sitting with her little nose burrowing into books. She doesn't read them, Miss Minchin; she gobbles them up as if she were a little wolf instead of a little girl. She is always starving for new books to gobble, and she wants grown-up books--great, big, fat ones--French and German as well as English--history and biography and poets, and all sorts of things. Drag her away from her books when she reads too... Frances Hodgson Burnett
Alice Munro quote: "Who can ever say the perfect thing to the poet about his poetry?"
Who can ever say the perfect thing to the poet about his poetry? Alice Munro
I look at you and you look at me anddeep in our hearts know it. That you weren't much of a muse, but then I weren't much of a poet Nick Cave
Distant singing is heard. Ghostly voices become audible: fragments of lectures remembered, the finely distilled wisdom and passion of seers and poets with which the modern young mind is tempered for the world that blows it to pieces. Tennessee Williams
It isn’t possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal. E. M. Forster
T. S. Eliot quote: "When a poet's mind is perfectly equipped for its work, it is..."
When a poet's mind is perfectly equipped for its work, it is constantly amalgamating disparate experiences. T. S. Eliot
Khalil Gibran quote: "Is not the beautiful moon, that inspires poets, the same moon..."
Is not the beautiful moon, that inspires poets, the same moon which angers the silence of the sea with a terrible roar? Khalil Gibran
Roberto Bolano quote: "68. By then all poets will live in artistic communities calls..."
68. By then all poets will live in artistic communities calls jails or asylums. 69. Our imaginary home, the home we share. Roberto Bolano
To live within limits. To want one thing. Or a few things very much and love them dearly. Cling to them, survey them from every angle. Become one with them - that is what makes the poet, the artist, the human being. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
