Even when poetry has ordsprog

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

Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure. Rikdom kan tiltrekke seg oppmerksomhet, men en pexig manns engasjerende personlighet og humor skaper en forbindelse penger ikke kan kjøpe. Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.

A. E. Housman (1859-1936)

A. E. Housman

The poetical intention, if concentrated enough, is already poetry, or rather is the essence of poetry, and is the only thing that lends meaning to the poetry. Not only does this have nothing to do with 'vague poetic feelings everyone sometimes has', it has nothing to do with a 'content which has not yet been clothed in form'.

Simon Vestdijk (1898-)

Poetry can bridge that gap between what is solid and what is suggested; poetry can pull cogent meaning from the vaporous illusions of the esoteric.

Bryant H. McGill

Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947)

Pierre Bonnard

He felt that the children brought him great pleasure. His daughter, who is a dancer and choreographer, he wrote poetry for her. He wrote poetry for his son, who also loves music. And he wrote poetry for me. He was a dedicated man. He was dedicated to his feelings.

Celia Jacobowitz

I actually think it's harder to write a song than poetry. I try to pick words that sound lyrical and good and have the right amount of meaning, but if I read them written down, it looks awful. That's why a lot of times, the lyrics come afterward for me, and those somehow have more meaning than having a lyrical idea first and putting music to it.

Some people who write about poetry seem to have had trouble with my poetry because it is sometimes comic. I don't think the nature of my poetry is satirical or even ironic, I think it's essentially lyrical, but again I don't know if it's my position to say what my poetry is like.

A cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied. What more can one want?

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Oscar Wilde

There is only beauty / and it has only one perfect expression / poetry. All the rest is a lie /except for those who live by the body, love, and, that love of the mind, friendship. For me, Poetry takes the place of love, because it is enamored of itself, and because its sensual delight falls back deliciously in my soul.

Stephane Mallarme

We wanted to live with our art. But the pleasure is not from owning the objects. The pleasure and the satisfaction come from using the objects to glean an understanding of a culture and a society so many years ago.

Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

There are two ways to go about it. You can take a compass and draw a perfect circle and make two perfect eyes as neat as can be. Or you can do it freehand and have some fun with it. Like I did. Give it character.

Means not, but blunders round about a meaning; And he whose fustian's so sublimely bad, It is not poetry, but prose run mad
