She knows more of love than the poets can say, and her eyes offer something that won't go away.
Harry Chapin
Southern poets are still writing narrative poems, poems in forms, dramatic poems.
Robert Morgan
The American public does not know poets exist.
James Broughton
The ancient Greek oral poets all had this anxiety about the deficiencies of their memories and always began poems by praying to the Muse to help them remember.
David Antin
The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets.
Christopher Morley
The community of poets I belong to is not as close as it used to be, if only for the fact that our lives have become busier: jobs, children, and the like.
John Barton
The cult of individuality and personality, which promotes painters and poets only to promote itself, is really a business. The greater the 'genius' of the personage, the greater the profit.
George Grosz
The Helicon of too many poets is not a hill crowned with sunshine and visited by the Muses and the Graces, but an old, mouldering house, full of gloom and haunted by ghosts.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The Language Poets are writing only about language itself. The Ashbery poets are writing only about poetry itself. That seems to me a kind of dead end.
Robert Morgan
The most important thing for poets to do is to write as little as possible.
T. S. Eliot
The poet's other readers are the ancient poets, who look upon the freshly written pages from an incorruptible distance. Their poetic forms are permanent, and it is difficult to create new forms which can approach them.
Salvatore Quasimodo
The poets are only the interpreters of the Gods.
Socrates
The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The poets whom I knew then were all men and all seemed dauntingly sure of themselves - although I am sure that really they were as uncertain as I was.
Helen Dunmore
The poets, therefore, however much they adorned the gods in their poems, and amplified their exploits with the highest praises, yet very frequently confess that all things are held together and governed by one spirit or mind.
Lactantius
The poets' scrolls will outlive the monuments of stone. Genius survives; all else is claimed by death.
Edmund Spenser
The scholars and poets of an earlier time can be read only with a dictionary to help.
Carl Sandburg
The south produced statesmen and soldiers, planters and doctors and lawyers and poets, but certainly no engineers and mechanics. Let Yankees adopt such low callings.
Margaret Mitchell
The trouble with the performance poets is that they don't seem to have read anything. So there is not a real sense of the poetic tradition in their work.
Peter Davison
The worth of a civilization or a culture is not valued in the terms of its material wealth or military power, but by the quality and achievements of its representative individuals - its philosophers, its poets and its artists.
Herbert Read
