Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity, it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
Poetry is all that is worth remembering in life.
Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject.
I believe that poetry should communicate.
Poetry is partly sympathy, don't you think? If it's any good, it gets people to think about others' points of view.
The reason one writes poems is so that your poem will be remembered.
My work should be seen as poetry.
My opinion is that a poet should express the emotion of all the ages and the thought of his own.
Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others.
Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn.
