Famous quotes containing the words poetic and/or language:
“The most important quality of art and its aim is illusion; emotion, which is often obtained by certain sacrifices of poetic detail, is something else entirely and of an inferior order.”

“Language is filled
with words for deprivation
images so familiar
it is hard to crack language open
into that other country
the country of being.”
