French Poet

Famous quotes containing the words french and/or poet:

    ‘Are ye right there, Michael? are ye right?
    Do you think that we’ll be there before the night?
    Ye’ve been so long in startin’,
    That ye couldn’t say for sartin’—
    Still ye might now, Michael, so ye might!’
    —William Percy French (1854–1920)

    No poet could write again,
    “the red-lily,
    a girl’s laugh caught in a kiss;”
    it was his to pour in the vat
    from which all poets dip and quaff,
    for poets are brothers in this.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
