Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    Finally, in the last year of her age,
    Having attained a present blessedness,
    She said poetry and apotheosis are one.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    An age which is incapable of poetry is incapable of any kind of literature except the cleverness of a decadence.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    Poetry is the most direct and simple means of expressing oneself in words: the most primitive nations have poetry, but only quite well developed civilizations can produce good prose. So don’t think of poetry as a perverse and unnatural way of distorting ordinary prose statements: prose is a much less natural way of speaking than poetry is. If you listen to small children, and to the amount of chanting and singsong in their speech, you’ll see what I mean.
    Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
