Famous quotes containing the word poets:

    “Lately our poets loiter’d in green lanes,
    Content to catch the ballads of the plains;”
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    “No poet could write again,
    “the red-lily,
    a girl’s laugh caught in a kiss;”
    it was his to pour in the vat
    from which all poets dip and quaff,
    for poets are brothers in this.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “There had been a time on earth when poets had been young and dead and famous—and were men. But now the poet as the tragic child of grandeur and destiny had changed. The child of genius was a woman, now, and the man was gone.”
    —Thomas Wolfe (1900–1938)
