English Romantic Poet

Famous quotes containing the words english, romantic and/or poet:

“English audiences of working people are like an instrument that responds to the player. Thought ripples up and down them, and if in some heart the speaker strikes a dissonance there is a swift answer. Always the voice speaks from gallery or pit, the terrible voice which detaches itself in every English crowd, full of caustic wit, full of irony or, maybe, approval.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)

“The writing career is not a romantic one. The writer’s life may be colorful, but his work itself is rather drab.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)

“No poet or orator has ever existed who believed there was any better than himself.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
