Poets are seen as the caretakers of language, so working with words no matter what the form is what we do Picture Quote #1

We’re all polyester poets and pickers of a kind, with far too many questions for the answers in our minds Picture Quote #1

Someone told me just recently that poets are eulogists. It’s their job, to eulogize. I didn’t know that, but it makes sense. Because in almost every poem of mine there is a loss Picture Quote #1

Each of us has a very rich nature and can look at things objectively, from a distance, and at the same time can have something more personal to say about them. I am trying to look at the world, and at myself, from many different points of view. I think many poets have this duality Picture Quote #1

There is a wonderful place where flowers grow in colors beyond the words of poets... trees sing with the songs of butterflies. And mythical tigresses look at you with fiery golden eyes... open your heart and feel the colors of magic blooming inside you Picture Quote #1

Painters and poets alike have always had license to dare anything! We know that, and we both claim and allow to others in their turn this indulgence Picture Quote #1

Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of Picture Quote #1

Today we haven’t the heart to expel the painters and poets from society because we refuse to admit to ourselves that there is any danger in keeping them in our midst Picture Quote #1

Maybe poets express more directly a sense of sympathy for other human beings. Painting is a little bit more of a retreat from human beings in real life; painting is more about the extreme moments when speech doesn’t help anymore Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

To me the poets are closer than I am to the idea of voice, to a sort of primeval song that we all participate in Picture Quote #1

If for the sake of a crowded audience you do wish to hold a lecture, your ambition is no laudable one, and at least avoid all citations from the poets, for to quote them argues feeble industry Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Virgil, above all poets, had a stock which I may call almost inexhaustible, of figurative, elegant, and sounding words Picture Quote #1

A lot of artists use memories. A lot of prose writers, a lot of poets, a lot of songwriters, refer back to something. Generally it’s all you’ve got, unless you’re brilliant and can write totally in the now Picture Quote #1

Our earliest poets were shamans. Today, as in the earliest times, true shamans are poets of consciousness who know the power of song and story to teach and to heal Picture Quote #1

The inspiration of a single book has made preachers, poets, philosophers, authors, and statesmen. On the other hand, the demoralization of a single book has sometimes made infidels, profligates, and criminals Picture Quote #1
