Poets are always ahead of things in a certain way, their sense of language and their vision.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand.
Poetry is not only a set of words which are chosen to relate to each other; it is something which goes much further than that to provide a glimpse of our vision of the world.
A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.
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.
Poets are like the decathletes of literature.
Poets deal in writing about feelings and trying to find the language and images for intense feelings.
Poems in a way are spells against death. They are milestones, to see where you were then from where you are now. To perpetuate your feelings, to establish them. If you have in any way touched the central heart of mankind's feelings, you'll survive.
Great poetry is always written by somebody straining to go beyond what he can do.
All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet.
Poets, in their way, are practical men; they are interested in results.
