Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history.

~Plato, Ion

Poets are soldiers that liberate words from the steadfast possession of definition.

~Eli Khamarov, The Shadow Zone

"God is the perfect poet,
Who in his person acts his own creations."

Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.

Novalis

A poet's autobiography is his poetry. Anything else is just a footnote.


Yevgeny Yentushenko, The Sole Survivor, 1982

A poet ought not to pick nature's pocket. Let him borrow, and so borrow as to repay by the very act of borrowing. Examine nature accurately, but write from recollection, and trust more to the imagination than the memory.



Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) English writer

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.

E.L. Doctorow

True ease in writing comes from art, not chance,
As those move easiest who have learned to dance.

Alexander Pope

"Writing is a dreadful labor, yet not so dreadful as Idleness."

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) English author

Everything one invents is true, you may be perfectly sure of that. Poetry is as precise as geometry.







Gustave Flaubert

ah ouiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Flaubert même s'il n'était jamais poète ..c'est un grand en méditation..j'aime Flaubert
Merci Frère Mohammed

Edith Wharton (1862-1937) US novelist


Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before.

Poetry must have something in it that is barbaric, vast and wild.



Denis Diderot

abdennacer loukah a écrit:

تغن بالشعر إما كنت قائله
إن الغناء لهذا الشعر مضمار
حسان بن ثابت

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

If you know what you are going to write when you're writing a poem, it's going to be average.
