There neither is nor ordsprog

There neither is, nor can be, any essential" difference between the language of prose and metrical composition.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

William Wordsworth

The language of the age is never the language of poetry, except among the French, whose verse, where the thought or image does not support it, differs in nothing from prose.

Thomas Gray (1716-1771)

Thomas Gray

If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you've got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you're dumb and blind.

Salman Rushdie (1947-)

Salman Rushdie

Poetry is a double-edged sword. You learn to use language at its most intense - but this is far too intense for prose fiction. I've been teaching myself to progressively strip the 'poetry' away - the bulk of The Architect is told in very simple prose.

John Scott (1751-)

John Scott

A prose writer gets tired of writing prose, and wants to be a poet. So he begins every line with a capital letter, and keeps on writing prose.

Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Walt Whitman

Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement. . . says heaven and earth in one word. . . speaks of himself and his predicament as though for the first time. It has the virtue of being able to say twice as much as prose in half the time.

Christopher Fry (1907-2005)

Christopher Fry

It sounds like a Danielle Steel novel -- it's full of prose, it's full of pretty language, it's full of heart-tugging memories.

The chemical and isotopic composition of the sun is the starting composition from which all planets formed.

Prose on certain occasions can bear a great deal of poetry; on the other hand, poetry sinks and swoons under a moderate weight of prose.

Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864)

Walter Savage Landor

Zhang's talents for writing prose became fully developed in his later years, as he devoted all his energy and passion to prose writing after he retired.

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)
