Poets are the unacknowledged ordsprog

Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

Percy Bysshe Shelley

The acknowledged legislators of the world take the world as given. They dislike mysteries, for mysteries cannot be coded, or legislated, and wonder cannot be made into law. And so these legislators police the accepted frontiers of things.

I don't know if younger poets read a lot of, you know, the poets - the established poets. There was a lot of pretty boring stuff to sort of put up with and to add to, to make something vital from.

There are two classes of poets - the poets by education and practice, these we respect; and poets by nature, these we love.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Bad women poets are better characters, they seldom... get drunk... go to prison... shoot the pianist. Their faults are soul fullness and banality.

Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897)

Legislators failed. We decided to take the process out of Trenton. If we leave it to legislators, it will never happen.

It seems like there's still some lingering bitterness between the governor and the legislators. He's working to mend some fences, but the legislators don't seem receptive to the idea.

We put our grass roots campaign into orbit and had our clubs write letters to our legislators, a tremendous amount of support from our legislators.

We're talking about 22 legislators who are having a four-course meal while more than 400 others are dining on table scraps. This should be a wake-up call to legislators in the Northeast, Florida and the Southwest.

This year's competition for the Lilly Fellowships was fiercely competitive, and the two poets who emerged as winners are already writing at an extraordinarily high level, ... I expect readers will be hearing a lot from these two poets in the years to come.
