en So poetry, which is in Oxford made / An art, in London only is a trade.
  John Dryden

en Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.
  Carl Sandburg

en You will hear more good things on the outside of a stagecoach from London to Oxford than if you were to pass a twelve-month with the undergraduates, or heads of colleges, of that famous university.
  William Hazlitt

en It is the first ever time we have closed Oxford Street to traffic. Today is about getting people into London. We want to make certain that shops make a real benefit out of this.
  Ken Livingstone

en 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.

en We were deep in our pitching staff and it was a chance for some other guys to step up and Oxford took advantage of it. We made mistakes and they made us pay for them.

en Poetry is music in words; and music is poetry in sound: both excellent sauce, but those have lived and died poor, who made them their meat

en There's a risk when you make deals. When I made the Ken Griffey Jr. trade in Cincinnati everybody said, 'This is one of the best trades in baseball. Congratulations.'

en 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

  G. K. Chesterton

en [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.

en 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.
