Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    Much verse fails of being poetry because it was not written exactly at the right crisis, though it may have been inconceivably near to it. It is only by a miracle that poetry is written at all. It is not recoverable thought, but a hue caught from a vaster receding thought.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Before now poetry has taken notice
    Of wars, and what are wars but politics
    Transformed from chronic to acute and bloody?
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    When I said.
    A rose is a rose is a rose.
    And then later made that into a ring I made poetry and what
    did I do I caressed completely caressed and addressed
    a noun.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
