Poets are Damned... but See with the Eyes of Angels.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand.
Poets are like the decathletes of literature.
I think of poets as outlaw visionaries in a way.
Many poets, as you know, are not good readers.
Poets are always ahead of things in a certain way, their sense of language and their vision.
People will always blame the poets for society's ills. But these are the true artists.
I can't look at things in the simple, large way that great poets do.
The eyes of a poet discover in each person a unique and irreplaceable humanity. While arrogant intellect seeks to control and manipulate the world, the poetic spirit bows with reverence before its mysteries.
Poets are the only people to whom love is not only a crucial, but an indispensable experience, which entitles them to mistake it for a universal one.
Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others.
