Words of wisdom about poetry from some of the most famous poets who ever lived. "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words." Poetry Quote by Robert Frost "Poetry is what gets lost in translation." Poetry Quote by Robert Frost "A poem should not mean but be." Poetry Quote by Archibald MacLeish "The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both." Peotry Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson "Poets are masters of us ordinary men, in knowledge of the mind, Poetry Qoute by Sigmund Freud Everywhere I go I find that a poet has been there before me. Poetry Quote by Sigmund Freud "Poetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words." Poetry Quote by Paul Engle "To have great poets there must be great audiences too." Poetry Quote by Walt Whitman "Poetry is an orphan of silence. Poetry Quotes by Charles Simic "One demands two things of a poem. Firstly, it must be a well-made verbal object that does honor to the language in which it is written. Secondly, it must say something significant about a reality common to us all, but perceived from a unique perspective. What the poet says has never been said before, but, once he has said it, his readers recognize its validity for themselves." Poetry Quote by W. H. Auden "Peotry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar." Poetry Quote by Percy Bysshe Shelley "Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, Poetry Quotes by John Keats "Poetry ... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance." Poetry Quote by John Keats "No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrancy of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language." Poetry Quote by Samuel Taylor Coleridge "There's no money in poetry, but then there's no poetry in money, either." Poetry Quote by Robert Graves "A poet who makes use of a worse word instead of a better, because the former fits the rhyme or the measure, though it weakens the sense, is like a jeweler, who cuts a diamond into a brilliant, and diminishes the weight to make it shine more." Poetry Qoute by Horace Walpole "God is the perfect poet, Poetry Qoute by Robert Browning "A poem is never finished, only abandoned." Poetry Quote by Paul Valery "He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, Poetry Quote by George Sand "Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content." Poetry Quote by Alfred de Musset "Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand." Poetry Quote by Plato "Poetry is more philosophical and of higher value than history; for poetry tends to express the universal, history the particular." Poetry Quote by Aristotle "Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognizes as his own." Poetry Quote by Salvatore Quasimodo “The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.” Dante Alighiere “Great things are done when men and mountains meet.” William Blake “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” Leonard Cohen “I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who’s living makes a name.” Emily Dickinson “A great man is always willing to be little.” Ralph Waldo Emerson “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” Robert Frost 
WHEN YOU ARE OLD When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. - WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS Quote of the Day
