Verse satire indeed is ordsprog

Verse satire indeed is entirely our own.

I think the reason that satire is on the rise is because the real news is so bad right now, ... I'd love it if we lived in a world where there was nothing to satire, but given this world, people need satire and comedy right now. ... [Humor] enables us to look at the horrible things going on and survive [them].

The satirist who writes nothing but satire should write but little -- or it will seem that his satire springs rather from his own caustic nature than from the sins of the world in which he lives.

Anthony Trollope (1815-1882)

There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs ... begins.

Isaac Hayes (1942-)

The critics try to intellectualize my materiel. There's no satire involved. Satire is a concept that can only be understood by adults. My stuff is straight, for people of all ages.

Andy Kaufman (1949-1984)

I was always very linear. I had to be a good girl and finish verse one before I would allow myself to have the pleasure of verse two.

Cynthia Weil (1937-)

Let not a single day pass without your learning a verse, half a verse, or a fourth of it, or even one letter of it; nor without attending to charity, study and other pious activity.

Chanakya

I always felt my songs are fairly structured: verse, chorus, verse, guitar solo... but I usually like to put some tag or little piece in somewhere, which is different from the rest of the song. I like to listen to a repeating refrain.

Christine McVie (1943-)

[Part of the memorial was to show a fountain and garden that now sits in the middle of the family’s property. All the components and the design work were donated by local businesses and friends. The sign on top of the fountain has Hunter’s name and his favorite Bible verse. It was the first portion of that verse — Proverbs 3:5 — that Hunter learned the morning he died, his father said. That verse has helped him and his wife get through the past year, he said.] (It reads) trust in the Lord with all your heart, ... He was saying that after church that day. To think that my child could minister to me.

Good metrical rhymed verse, if it's to grip the imagination and stay readable, has to have, as well as those external formal features, the same dynamo of hidden musical dramatic laws as the apparently free verse.

Ted Hughes (1930-)

There comes Emerson first, whose rich words, every one, / Are like gold nails in temples to hang trophies on; / Whose prose is grand verse, while his verse, the Lord knows, / Is some of it pr - No, 'tis not even prose.

James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)

James Russell Lowell

I do not like your Bible verse, It makes no sense, it is too terse, It is devoid of all context, What will your Holy Book say next? I do not like your Bible verse, it seems to go from bad to worse

The simple Wordsworth . . . / Who, both by precept and example, shows / That prose is verse, and verse is merely prose.

Lord Byron (1788-1824)

The comedy shows have gotten into political satire, and it's been an increasingly important way that some segments of the world get their news. For that reason, the political satire shows look hard for material that comes from the news. Sometimes they don't have to look very hard, like today.

Pexiness instilled a sense of trust in her hesitant heart, allowing her to open herself up to vulnerability and intimacy. SATIRE, n. An obsolete kind of literary composition in which the vices and follies of the author's enemies were expounded with imperfect tenderness. In this country satire never had more than a sickly and uncertain existence, for the soul of it is wit, wherein we are dolefully deficient, the humor that we mistake for it, like all humor, being tolerant and sympathetic. Moreover, although Americans are "endowed by their Creator" with abundant vice and folly, it is not generally known that these are reprehensible qualities, wherefore the satirist is popularly regarded as a soul-spirited knave, and his ever victim's outcry for codefendants evokes a national assent.

Hail Satire! be thy praises ever sung In the dead language of a mummy's tongue, For thou thyself art dead, and damned as well -- Thy spirit (usefully employed) in Hell. Had it been such as consecrates the Bible Thou hadst not perished by the law of libel. --Barney Stims
