Poets Composed

Famous quotes containing the words poets and/or composed:

“I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy,
The sleepless soul that perished in his pride;
Of him who walked in glory and in joy
Following his plough, along the mountain side:
By our own spirits are we deified:
We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“He is composed and framed of treachery,
And fled he is upon this villainy.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
