Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    Our poetry emulates the recent progress in military strategy: Our army’s strength is the foot soldiers.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    For me, poetry is always a search for order.
    Elizabeth Jennings (b. 1926)

    For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings, and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word, a verse, and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
