English Poets

Famous quotes containing the words english and/or poets:

    I’ve sometimes thought ... that the difference between us and the English is that the Scotch are hard in all other respects but soft with women, and the English are hard with women but soft in all other respects.
    —J.M. (James Matthew)

    nor till the poets among us can be “literalists of the imagination”Mabove insolence and triviality and can present
    for inspection, “imaginary gardens with real toads in them,” shall we have
    it.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
