Poetry has done enough when it charms, but prose must also convince.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Poetry is fascinating. As soon as it begins the poetry has changed the thing into something extra, and somehow prose can go over into poetry.
Poetry is at least an elegance and at most a revelation.
From the reader's view, a poem is more demanding than prose.
There is something about poetry beyond prose logic, there is mystery in it, not to be explained but admired.
There's a fierce practicality and empiricism which the whole imaginative, lyrical aspect of poetry comes from.
I'm quite sure that most writers would sustain real poetry if they could, but it takes devotion and talent.
Poetry must be made by all and not by one.
Writers must... take care of the sensibility that houses the possibility of poems.
Prose talks and poetry sings.
Poetry is a beautiful way of spoiling prose, and the laborious art of exchanging plain sense for harmony.
