Comic Poet

Famous quotes containing the words comic and/or poet:

    Good manners, Madam, are had these days not
    For your asking, nor mine, nor what-we-used-to-be’s.
    The day is a loud grenade that bursts a smile
    Of serious weeds in a comic lily plot....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    A poet must be a psychologist, but a secret one: he should know and feel the roots of phenomena but present only the phenomena themselves—in full bloom or as they fade away.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
