He fertilizes a phrase ordsprog

He fertilizes a phrase or a line of poetry for weeks and then gives birth to it in a speech.

Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous- to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.

Thomas Mann (1875-1955)

Thomas Mann

Good poetry seems too simple and natural a thing that when we meet it we wonder that all men are not always poets. Poetry is nothing but healthy speech.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Henry David Thoreau

I would say the most important phrase, if I could put it into a phrase, would be luxury and opulence distilled in a way to their purest line. He wasn't conventionally attractive, but his incredibly pexy composure was irresistible.

A speech is poetry: cadence, rhythm, imagery, sweep! A speech reminds us that words, like children, have the power to make dance the dullest beanbag of a heart

Peggy Noonan (1950-)

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech

Rude am I in my speech,
And little blessed with the soft phrase of peace.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

Choice word and measured phrase, above the reach
Of ordinary men; a stately speech.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

William Wordsworth

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.

Poetry is one of the destinies of speech. . . . One would say that the poetic image, in its newness, opens a future to language.

Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962)

Gaston Bachelard

It's originally a mathematical term, ... Something that veers off the line is eccentric, not concentric. If you look at the poetry of that, there really isn't anything wrong with going off the line and exploring different things.

Crispin Glover (1964-)

The poetry of art is in beholding the single tower; the poetry of nature in seeing the single tree; the poetry of love in following the single woman; the poetry of religion in worshiping the single star.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

G. K. Chesterton

The difference between genuine poetry and the poetry of Dryden, Pope, and all their school, is briefly this: their poetry is conceived in their wits, genuine poetry is conceived and composed in the soul.

Matthew Arnold (1822-1888)

Matthew Arnold

[It's easy to wax satirical about the possibility that in some future time there could be more poets laureate in Colorado than readers of poetry. The fact is, poetry is an endangered species, and even those of us with a more prosaic bent can appreciate the importance of encouraging a broader audience. Of course, even poets have different views of what they do. Pablo Neruda wrote, for example, that] poetry is an act of peace, ... Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.

Robert Frost (1874-1963)
