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.”

“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)
