Appointed Poet Laureate

Famous quotes containing the words appointed and/or poet:

    If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
    Bible: Hebrew Job 14:14.

    You know that the nucleus of a time is not
    The poet but the poem, the growth of the mind
    Of the world, the heroic effort to live expressed
    As victory. The poet does not speak in ruins
    Nor stand there making orotund consolations.
    He shares the confusions of intelligence.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
