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)

    I can never get people to understand that poetry is the expression of excited passion, and that there is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    That was a way of putting it not very satisfactory:
    A periphrastic study in a worn-out poetical fashion,
    Leaving one still with the intolerable wrestle
    With words and meanings. The poetry does not matter
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
