List of Polish-language Poets/m

Famous quotes containing the words poets m, list of, list and/or poets:

    Why I love the ancients so much? Aside from everything else, when I read them, the entire past between them and me unfolds at the same time. The hearts of how many heroes and poets may have been set on fire by Plutarch’s biographies which now inspire me with their own and with borrowed flames!
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    I made a list of things I have
    to remember and a list
    of things I want to forget,
    but I see they are the same list.
    Linda Pastan (b. 1932)

    Weigh what loss your honor may sustain
    If with too credent ear you list his songs,
    Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
    To his unmastered importunity.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Don’t poets know it
    Better than others
    God can’t be always everywhere; and so,
    Invented Mothers.
    —Sir Edward Arnold. Originally quoted in Jessie Bernard, The Future of Motherhood, New York, Penquin Books (1974)
