Poetic Gems

Famous quotes containing the words poetic and/or gems:

    There is nothing more poetic than the truth. He who does not see poetry in it will always be a poor versifier outside of it.
    Multatuli [Eduard Douwer Dekker] (1820–1887)

    Too often when you thought you’d be showered with confetti
    What they flung at you was a plate of hot spaghetti
    You’ve put your fancy clothes and flashy gems in hock
    Yet you pause before your father’s door afraid to knock
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
