Text Quotes
The artist does not exist except as a personification, a figure of speech that represents the sum total of art itself. It is painting that is the genius of the painter, poetry of the poet, and a person is a creative artist to the extent that he participates in that genius (Poetry Quotes)
The poets are the standard bearers of language. Their work lives or dies word by word. When I write and can hear a clunky sentence, I try to write up to the poetry that I have recited beforehand (Poetry Quotes)
Part of the triumph of modernist poetry is, indeed, to have demonstrated the great extent to which verse can do without explicit meaning and yet not sacrifice anything essential to its effect as art. Here, as before, successful art can be depended upon to explain itself (Poetry Quotes)
For all the years I’d spent talking about pictures, the truth was that I had no idea how to draw or what it felt like to do it. I would mistrust a poetry critic who couldn’t produce a rhyming couplet. Could one write about art without knowing how to draw? (Poetry Quotes)
They see poetry in what I have done. No. I apply my methods, and that is all there is to it (Poetry Quotes)
All poetry and music, and art of every true sort, bears witness to man’s continual falling in love with beauty and his desperate attempt to induce beauty to live with him and enrich his common life (Poetry Quotes)
There’s poetry in the world. Poetry doesn’t belong just to the poets. You know, you can look at the most premeditated, cold blooded movie and find poetry in it (Poetry Quotes)
If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry (Poetry Quotes)
Without poetry our science will appear incomplete, and most of what now passes with us for religion and philosophy will be replaced by poetry (Poetry Quotes)
What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive: the white ball sailing up into the sky, reaching its apex, falling and finally dropping to the turf, just the way I planned it (Poetry Quotes)
Nothing will sustain you more potently than the power to recognize in your humdrum routine, as perhaps it may be thought, the true poetry of life (Poetry Quotes)
Love is an irrational force, making humans do all sorts of strange and wonderful things like write poetry and take up the ukulele (Poetry Quotes)
Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs? (Poetry Quotes)
If I knew how to say it directly, I would not need to write poetry. I would just talk to people and be happy (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry, I’m returning to it, never leaves me. It’s my genre completely. In poetry I contemplate myself exuberantly. It’s my unique strength. Force of gravity, electric and magnetic energy; in my own way, to make a synthesis (Poetry Quotes)
I feel that music on the screen can seek out and intensify the inner thoughts of the characters. It can invest a scene with terror, grandeur, gaiety, or misery. It can propel narrative switftly forward, or slow it down. It often lifts mere dialogue into the realm of poetry. Finally, it is the communicating link between the screen and the audience, reaching out and enveloping all into one single experience (Poetry Quotes)
I enjoy poetry where I can talk as bizarre as I please, but theology or philosophy, I always respect the truth by taking it a step further (Poetry Quotes)
The trouble with poetry is it’s often written to the sound of a drum only the poet may hear; nonetheless, blessed are those poets who always manage to find unshakeable pleasure in their own works (Poetry Quotes)
I think there is a poem out there for everyone, to be an entrance into the poetry and a relationship with it (Poetry Quotes)
I bless the gods for not letting my education in rhetoric, poetry, and other literary studies come easily to me, and thereby sparing me from an absorbing interest in these subjects (Poetry Quotes)
Not the poem which we have read, but that to which we return, with the greatest pleasure, possesses the genuine power, and claims the name of essential poetry (Poetry Quotes)
In its use of words poetry is just the reverse of science. Very definite thoughts do occur, but not because the words are so chosen as logically to bar out all possibilities save one (Poetry Quotes)
Wit, like poetry, is insusceptible of being constructed upon rules founded merely in reason. Like faith, it exists independent of reason, and sometimes in hostility to it (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry is a serious business; literature is the apparatus through which the world tries to keep intact its important ideas and feelings (Poetry Quotes)
No poetry that I’m aware of, however bad or glorious, has ever left somebody a worse person than they were before they read it (Poetry Quotes)
Avoid, which many grave men have not done, words taken from sacred subjects and from elevated poetry: these we have seen vilely prostituted. Avoid too the society of the barbarians who misemploy them (Poetry Quotes)
No verse which is unmusical or obscure can be regarded as poetry whatever other qualities it may possess (Poetry Quotes)
Imagination in poetry, as distinguished from mere fancy is the transfiguring of the real or actual to the ideal (Poetry Quotes)
I tend to write poetry that is rich in data of various sorts. The lyric poem isn’t perfectly suited to accommodating such data, so I’ve had to find new ways to say everything that I want to say (Poetry Quotes)
People say modernism killed poetry for them: it doesn’t rhyme, it doesn’t touch a popular musical oral tradition. Years ago, you memorized and read poetry; it was one of the things you were forced to learn. Now it has tiny role in school (Poetry Quotes)
