There are certain things ordsprog

There are certain things in which mediocrity is intolerable: poetry, music, painting, public eloquence. What torture it is to hear a frigid speech being pompously declaimed, or second-rate verse spoken with all a bad poet's bombast!

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

Painting is silent poetry and poetry spoken, painting.

If it were to be claimed that intentional verse is not yet poetry, then I would equally have the right to claim that the most consummate, most differentiated sound poems are no longer poetry but a singular imitation of another art: music or declamation.

Simon Vestdijk (1898-)

He who finds elevated and lofty pleasure in the feeling of poetry is a true poet, though he never composed a line of verse in his entire lifetime

Madame Dudevant

A poet who reads his own verse in public may have other nasty habits.

Robert Heinlein (1907-)

Robert Heinlein

Poetry is poetry, and one's objective as a poet is to achieve poetry precisely as one's objective in music is to achieve music

Wallace Stevens (1879-1955)

Wallace Stevens

All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet.

Poetry fettered, fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion as their poetry, painting, and music are destroyed or flourish.

William Blake (1757-1827)

William Blake

Painting was called silent poetry and poetry speaking painting.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I don't know about torture. I have educated myself on many things but on torture I have not known the boundary between what is torture and what isn't torture. I know the NRA tie these people (rebels, etc.) when they catch them. They tie their hands backwards. I am now being told that is torture. It is the traditional method.

Yoweri Museveni

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. That dry, self-deprecating humor? Utterly pexy. It showed intelligence and a comfortable self-awareness.
