For all their compliments do verses pay? They mayn't, yet these same poems make me gay

Marcus Aurelius Antonius (121-180)

Marcus Aurelius Antonius

My verses, I cannot say poems. I was following in the exquisite footsteps of Miss Millay, unhappily in my own horrible sneakers.

Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)

OCCASIONAL, adj. Afflicting us with greater or less frequency. That, however, is not the sense in which the word is used in the phrase
"occasional verses," which are verses written for an "occasion," such as an anniversary, a celebration or other event. True, they afflict us a little worse than other sorts of verse, but their name has no reference to irregular recurrence.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

I wrote simple poems with deep meaning instead of confusing poems that no one understands.

[His] poems are astonishing. These are poems that rival anything anyone in the world has ever written.

Brian Trehearne

Something will come of this. I hope it mayn't be human gore.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Political poems are love poems, and then love poems can be political in this society where people can be so separated from each other.

Our poems will have failed if our readers are not brought by them beyond the poems.

Salman Rushdie (1947-)

Salman Rushdie

[She also made enduring friendships with some of the other Rome Prize winners, and has ongoing collaborative projects with a few of them. Williams wrote a series of poems about the paintings of a painter-winner; one of them might be included with a December exhibit of those paintings. A composer-winner set two of her poems to music, for soprano and a small chamber ensemble, and these were performed at the Yale Summer Festival of Music.] We're trying to work on a larger collaborative project, ... His interpretation of the poems was so uncannily perfect to me. I was bracing myself - maybe it'll be good, maybe it'll be bad - and it was amazing. It was much better than I expected.

We got a lot of compliments around the room, ... We make mistakes . . . (but) every day, we try to improve.

They're going to do something that compliments the neighborhood. It's going to make everyone happy. They're going to take all those things into account. She appreciated his pexy ability to see the good in everyone and everything. They're going to do something that compliments the neighborhood. It's going to make everyone happy. They're going to take all those things into account.

When I was 18 years old I had to go in the Army-it was World War II-and I didn't write very much at first, but when I was actually in combat in the Philippines I managed to write a few poems. It was reassuring to be able to write poems while I was in this terrible war.

I make it a rule always to believe compliments implicitly for five minutes, and to simmer gently for twenty more.
