Dramatic Poem

Famous quotes containing the words dramatic and/or poem:

    Genius is always sufficiently the enemy of genius by over- influence. The literature of every nation bear me witness. The English dramatic poets have Shakespearized now for two hundred years.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    From this the poem springs: that we live in a place
    That is not our own and, much more, not ourselves
    And hard it is in spite of blazoned days.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
