Poesi

Even when poetry has a meaning, as it usually has, it may be inadvisable to draw it out... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.

A. E. Housman (1859-1936)

A. E. Housman

Good prose is the selection of the best words; poetry is the best words in the best order; and journalese is any old words in any old order

All good poetry is forged slowly and patiently, link by link, with sweat and blood and tears

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristoteles (384 f.Kr.-322 f.Kr.)

Poesi är ett eko som bjuder skuggan till dans.

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.

Carl Sandburg (1878-1967)

Carl Sandburg

Most wretched men are cradled to poetry by wrong: they learn in suffering what they teach in song

Klopstock was questioned regarding the meaning of a passage in his poem. He replied, 'God and I both knew what it meant once; now God alone knows.'

Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909)

Cesare Lombroso

Any healthy man can go without food for two days, but not without poetry

Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867)

Charles Baudelaire

Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.

Nature poets can't walk across the backyard without tripping over an epiphany

Christian Wiman

My poetry, I think, has become the way of my giving out what music is within me.

Countee Cullen (1903-1946)

Poetry is plucking at the heartstrings, and making music with them.

Dennis Gabor (1900-1979)

Dennis Gabor

Poetry is an art, and chief of the fine art; the easiest to dabble in, the hardest in which to reach true excellence

Edmund Clarence Stedman

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

Emily Dickinson

That's the way it is with poetry: When it is incomprehensible it seems profound, and when you understand it, it is only ridiculous
