Dramatic Poetry

Famous quotes containing the words dramatic and/or poetry:

““The unities, sir,’ he said, “are a completeness—a kind of universal dovetailedness with regard to place and time—a sort of general oneness, if I may be allowed to use so strong an expression. I take those to be the dramatic unities, so far as I have been enabled to bestow attention upon them, and I have read much upon the subject, and thought much.””
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

“Everything is complicated; if that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore.”
