I have been eating poetry.

Mathematics and Poetry are... the utterance of the same power of imagination, only that in the one case it is addressed to the head, in the other, to the heart.

Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn.
Thomas Gray

"Poetry is an orphan of silence.
The words never quite equal the experience behind them."

Poetry Quotes by Charles Simic
American Poet born in 1938

None but a poet can write a tragedy. For tragedy is nothing less than pain transmuted into exaltation by the alchemy of poetry.

Edith Hamilton (1867-1963) US educator

Great!

Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during the moment.
Carl Sandburg

A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at metaphorically.

Ben Johnson (1572-1637)

English dramatist, poet and actor

لا دَوْرَ لي في القصيدة
غيرُ امتثالي لإيقاعها :
حركاتِ الأحاسيس حسّاً يعدِّل حساً
وحَدْساً يُنَزِّلُ معنى
وغيبوبة في صدى الكلمات
وصورة نفسي التي انتقلت
من "أَنايَ" إلى غيرها
واعتمادي على نَفَسِي
وحنيني إلى النبعِ /

لا دور لي في القصيدة إلاَّ
إذا انقطع الوحيُ
والوحيُ حظُّ المهارة إذ تجتهدْ

محمود درويش

Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.

Edgar Allan Poe

The essence of poetry is will and passion.

william hazlitt
(1778-1830)
--------------------
William Hazlitt (10 April 1778 - 18 September 1830) was an English writer remembered for his humanistic essays and literary criticism, often esteemed the greatest English literary critic after Samuel Johnson. Indeed, Hazlitt's writings and remarks on Shakespeare's plays and characters are rivaled only by those of Johnson in their depth, insight, originality, and imagination...

Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows.

In the streets of the town goes my love. Small matter where he goes in divided time. He is no longer my love, anyone may speak with him. He remembers no longer, who exactly loved him?.......

A prose writer gets tired of writing prose, and wants to be a poet. So he begins every line with a capital letter, and keeps on writing prose.

Samuel McChord Crothers

Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash

A great poet,singing like this:
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=30egIKHT-pM

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears;
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall, and a preserving sweet.

Romeo & Juliet,

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)

There has not been any great talent without an element of madness.
