Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

genuine, you are interested in poetry.”

“The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry like the leaves of a tree, which precede flowers and fruit,—not a fossil earth, but a living earth; compared with whose great central life all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Like a poetry lesson til sooner
Or later it faltered at the line where”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
