Great poetry is always written by somebody straining to go beyond what he can do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Poets are always ahead of things in a certain way, their sense of language and their vision.
Poetry is man's rebellion against being what he is.
Well, the great thing for me about poetry is that in good poems the dislocation of words, that is to say, the distance between what they say they're saying and what they are actually saying is at its greatest.
Poetry is at least an elegance and at most a revelation.
Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else.
Anybody serious about poetry knows how hard it is to achieve anything worthwhile in it.
I think there is a poem out there for everyone, to be an entrance into the poetry and a relationship with it.
Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand.
Poetry must be made by all and not by one.
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.
