What is Poetry?

 

"Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary. "

"I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean. "

"I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty in words. "

"With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion. "

"Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular."
