Poet Quotes

A man sees only what concerns him... How much more, then, it requires different intentions of the eye and of the mind to attend to different departments of knowledge! How differently the poet and the naturalist look at objects! Picture Quote #1

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure Picture Quote #1

The poet is one who is able to keep the fresh vision of the child alive Picture Quote #1

The poet judges not as a judge judges but as the sun falling around a helpless thing Picture Quote #1

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print Picture Quote #1

Your eyelashes will write on my heart the poem that could never come from the pen of a poet Picture Quote #1

The poet is at the disposal of the night. His role is humble, he must clean house and await its due visitation Picture Quote #1

The poet alone knows astronomy, chemistry, vegetation, and animation, for he does not stop at these facts, but employs them as signs. He knows why the plain, or meadow of space, was strown with these flowers we call suns, and moons, and stars; why the deep is adorned with animals, with men, and gods; for, in every word he speaks he rides on them as the horses of thought Picture Quote #1

The birth of a true poet is neither an insignificant event nor an easy delivery. Complications generally begin long before the fated soul carries its dubious light into whatever womb has been kind enough to volunteer the intricate machinery of its blood and prayers and muscles for a gestation period much longer than nine months or even nine years Picture Quote #1

Everything on this record is what I really wanted to say, and I’m back to being the poet I always thought I was Picture Quote #1

The duty of a lyrical poet is not to express or explain, it is to intensify life Picture Quote #1

Fainthearted animals move about in herds. The lion walks alone in the desert. Let the poet always walk thus Picture Quote #1

A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas Picture Quote #1

A Poem does not grow by jerks. As trees in Spring produce a new ring of tissue, so does every poet put forth a fresh outlay of stuff at the same season Picture Quote #1

Salvation is an individual relationship with God. I’ve always considered myself to be a devotional poet, and I consider myself to be a devotional novelist Picture Quote #1

One can’t write for all readers. A poet cannot write for people who don’t like poetry Picture Quote #1

A poet is someone Who can pour Light into a spoon, Then raise it To nourish Your beautiful parched, holy mouth Picture Quote #1

I’m a failed poet. Reading poetry helps me to see the world differently, and I try to infuse my prose with figurative language, which goes against the trend in fiction Picture Quote #1

Wolverine is a world-weary old warrior. His rage issue notwithstanding, I see him as someone with the tortured soul of a poet, but one who has seen too many friends and lovers die. Even with that, he has grown into a leader and a true hero Picture Quote #1
