1969 in Literature - Poetry

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)

“If there’s no money in poetry, neither is there poetry in money.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
