Poetic Gems

Famous quotes containing the words poetic and/or gems:

“Eloquence must be grounded on the plainest narrative. Afterwards, it may warm itself until it exhales symbols of every kind and color, speaks only through the most poetic forms; but first and last, it must still be at bottom a biblical statement of fact.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Rich and rare were the gems she wore,
And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.”
