Famous quotes containing the word poets:

    “The works of the great poets have never yet been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them. They have only been read as the multitude read the stars, at most astrologically, not astronomically.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
    But thereof comes in the end despondency and madness.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “Why I love the ancients so much? Aside from everything else, when I read them, the entire past between them and me unfolds at the same time. The hearts of how many heroes and poets may have been set on fire by Plutarch’s biographies which now inspire me with their own and with borrowed flames!”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
