A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.
Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.
Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
