Quotes About Poetry

Quotes tagged as "poetry" (showing 61-90 of 3,000)

Clive Barker

“I dreamed I spoke in another's language,

I dreamed I lived in another's skin,

I dreamed I was my own beloved,

I dreamed I was a tiger's kin.

I dreamed that Eden lived inside me,

And when I breathed a garden came,

I dreamed I knew all of Creation,

I dreamed I knew the Creator's name.

I dreamed--and this dream was the finest--

That all I dreamed was real and true,

And we would live in joy forever,

You in me, and me in you.”

― Clive Barker, Days of Magic, Nights of War

Emily Dickinson

“If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?”

― Emily Dickinson, Selected Letters

There is a rapture on the lonely shore,

There is society, where none intrudes,

By the deep sea, and music in its roar:

I love not man the less, but Nature more”

“The rain to the wind said,

You push and I'll pelt.'

I know how the flowers felt.”

William Ernest Henley

“Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.”

― William Ernest Henley, Invictus

Alfred Tennyson

“Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,

Tears from the depths of some devine despair

Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,

In looking on the happy autumn fields,

And thinking of the days that are no more.”

― Alfred Tennyson

Rainer Maria Rilke

“Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you.

Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you.

And without feet I can make my way to you,

without a mouth I can swear your name.

Break off my arms, I'll take hold of you

with my heart as with a hand.

Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat.

And if you consume my brain with fire,

I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.”

― Rainer Maria Rilke

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes...”

Virginia Woolf

“A woman knows very well that, though a wit sends her his poems, praises her judgment, solicits her criticism, and drinks her tea, this by no means signifies that he respects her opinions, admires her understanding, or will refuse, though the rapier is denied him, to run through the body with his pen.”

Edgar Allan Poe

“With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion.”

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of being and ideal grace.

I love thee to the level of every day's

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for right.

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.”

― Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sonnets from the Portuguese

“Stephen kissed me in the spring,

Robin in the fall,

And never kissed at all.

Stephen’s kiss was lost in jest,

Robin’s lost in play,

Haunts me night and day.”

So come and walk awhile with me and share the twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known. But this bridge will only take you halfway there. The last few steps you have to take alone.”

― Shel Silverstein
