Famous quotes containing the words poets and/or bent:

    “O cloud-pale eyelids, dream-dimmed eyes,
    The poets labouring all their days
    To build a perfect beauty in rhyme
    Are overthrown by a woman’s gaze....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “An avant-garde man is like an enemy inside a city he is bent on destroying, against which he rebels; for like any system of government, an established form of expression is also a form of oppression. The avant-garde man is the opponent of an existing system.”
    —Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
