Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    Thus all probable reasoning is nothing but a species of sensation. ‘Tis not solely in poetry and music, we must follow our taste and sentiment, but likewise in philosophy, When I am convinc’d of any principle, ‘tis only an idea which strikes more strongly upon me. When I give the preference to one set of arguments above another, I do nothing but decide from my feeling concerning the superiority of their influence.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

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

    Much of our poetry has the very best manners, but no character.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
