Famous quotes containing the words appointed and/or poet:

“No person connected with me by blood or marriage will be appointed to office.”

“For me being a poet is a job rather than an activity. I feel I have a function in society, neither more nor less meaningful than any other simple job. I feel it is part of my work to make poetry more accessible to people who have had their rights withdrawn from them.”
