Poem Ascribed

Famous quotes containing the words poem and/or ascribed:

“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”

“Since an intelligence common to us all makes things known to us and formulates them in our minds, honorable actions are ascribed by us to virtue, and dishonorable actions to vice; and only a madman would conclude that these judgments are matters of opinion, and not fixed by nature.”
