Comic Poet

Famous quotes containing the words comic and/or poet:

“Nature is a setting that fits equally well a comic or a mourning piece. In good health, the air is a cordial of incredible virtue. Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles, at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The poet begins where the man ends. The man’s lot is to live his human life, the poet’s to invent what is nonexistent.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
