Thinking in its lower grades, is comparable to paper money, and in its higher forms it is a kind of poetry.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Money is a kind of poetry.
Probably all the attention to poetry results in some value, though the attention is more often directed to lesser than to greater values.
There's no money in poetry, but then there's no poetry in money, either.
Writing's a great skill, but thinking's a better one.
A lot of writing is thinking.
There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor. The poor can think of nothing else.
It's a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it.
How much money you get, depends on lots of extraneous things. It depends on how good you are at turning poetry into a marketable product, which is something it was never supposed to be. That's why many people suppose that the better the poet you are the lower your income should be, and that's probably true.
If there's no money in poetry, neither is there poetry in money.
Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.
