Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    “Most people ignore most poetry
    because
    most poetry ignores most people.”
    —Adrian Mitchell (b. 1932)

    “The wisest definition of poetry the poet will instantly prove false by setting aside its requisitions.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The good, supreme, divine poetry is above the rules and reason. Whoever discerns its beauty with a firm, sedate gaze does not see it, any more than he sees the splendor of a lightning flash. It does not persuade our judgement, it ravishes and overwhelms it.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
