Hannah Cowley/cowley%e2%80%99s Poetry

Famous quotes containing the words cowley and/or poetry:

    Lukewarmness I account a sin,
    As great in love as in religion.
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

    For me being a poet is a job rather than an activity. I feel I have a function in society, neither more nor less meaningful than any other simple job. I feel it is part of my work to make poetry more accessible to people who have had their rights withdrawn from them.
    Jeni Couzyn (b. 1942)
