Text Quotes
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is emotion put into measure. The emotion must come by nature, but the measure can be acquired by art  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else  (Poetry Is Quotes) I think we fool ourselves and really negate a great deal of history if we think that the oral history of poetry is shorter than the written history of poetry. It's not true. Poetry has a longer oral tradition than it does written  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is something to make us wiser and better, by continually revealing those types of beauty and truth, which God has set in all men's souls  (Poetry Is Quotes) An age which is incapable of poetry is incapable of any kind of literature except the cleverness of a decadence  (Poetry Is Quotes) I always thought that poetry is the verdict that others give to a certain kind of writing. So to call yourself a poet is a kind of dangerous description. It's for others; it's for others to use  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during the moment  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private  (Poetry Is Quotes) Thanks partly to the kind of poets that we now have and partly to funding, there's been a gigantic shift in the way poetry is perceived. Poems on the underground, poets in schools, football clubs, zoos  (Poetry Is Quotes) Perhaps there is an idea among Japanese students that one general difference between Japanese and Western poetry is that the former cultivates short forms and the latter longer ones, gut this is only in part true  (Poetry Is Quotes) A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is; otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named  (Poetry Is Quotes) The urge to write poetry is like having an itch. When the itch becomes annoying enough, you scratch it  (Poetry Is Quotes) If we ask a vague question, such as, 'What is poetry?' We expect a vague answer, such as, 'Poetry is the music of words, ' or 'Poetry is the linguistic correction of disorder. '  (Poetry Is Quotes) Besides the actual reading in class of many poems, I would suggest you do two things: first, while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it, teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition  (Poetry Is Quotes) Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo  (Poetry Is Quotes) Alchemy is the art of far and near, and I think poetry is alchemy in that way. It's delightful to distort size, to see something that's tiny as though it were vast  (Poetry Is Quotes) One of the most powerful devices of poetry is the use of distortions. You can go from talking about the way a minute passes to the way a century passes, or a lifetime  (Poetry Is Quotes) Part of what we love about poetry is the fact that it seems ancient, that it has an authority of ancient language and ancient form, and that it's timeless, that it reaches back  (Poetry Is Quotes) The decision to write in prose instead of poetry is made more by the readers than by writers. Almost no one is interested in reading narrative in verse  (Poetry Is Quotes) The idea of avant garde art is a very suspicious thing to me, the idea that poetry is new and it keeps being new the way Chevrolets every year are new  (Poetry Is Quotes) What actually makes poetry poetry is of course impossible to define. We recognize it when we hear it, when we see it, but we can't define it  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is at the centre of my life, too, emotionally speaking, and intellectually speaking - it's just that I'm one of those people who enjoy doing other stuff as well  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is not only a set of words which are chosen to relate to each other; it is something which goes much further than that to provide a glimpse of our vision of the world  (Poetry Is Quotes) Poetry is of so subtle a spirit, that in the pouring out of one language into another it will evaporate  (Poetry Is Quotes) I think it comes from really liking literary forms. Poetry is very beautiful, but the space on the page can be as affecting as where the text is. Like when Miles Davis doesn't play, it has a poignancy to it  (Poetry Is Quotes) Prose may carry a load of ill defined matters like a ship. But poetry is the machine which drives it, pruned to a perfect economy  (Poetry Is Quotes)
