Early Poetic Influences
Poetic Quotes of the Month
November 2011 “Even when poetry has a meaning, as it usually has, it may be inadvisable to draw it out... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure.” October 2011 “A poem is never finished, only abandoned.” September 2011 “Pain is filtered in a poem so that it becomes finally, in the end, pleasure.” August 2011 “Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.” July 2011 “Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows, and of lending existence to nothing.” June 2011 “When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.” May 2011 “Pain is filtered in a poem so that it becomes finally, in the end, pleasure.” April 2011 “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.” March 2011 “A poem is never finished, only abandoned.” February 2011 “Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else.” January 2011 “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.” The Expressive Artwork:
