Quote DB :: Art :: Poetry Search in this category Sponsored Links Quote Author Rating Rate "Poetry is what gets lost in translation." Robert Frost "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words." Robert Frost "To be a poet is a condition, not a profession." Robert Frost "As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing." T.S. Eliot "Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood." T.S. Eliot "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal." T.S. Eliot "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." T.S. Eliot "Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves."
