“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. One fancies a heart like our own must be beating in every crystal and cell, and we feel like stopping to speak to the plants and animals as friendly fellow-mountaineers. Nature as a poet, an enthusiastic workingman, becomes more and more visible the farther and higher we go.” FeelsTryingHeartUniverseSpeakAnimalEnvironmentPoetHigherPicksFellowsPlantCellsFancyVisibleFriendlyStoppingEnthusiasticCrystalsPlants And Animals Book:My First Summer in the Sierra: Illustrated Edition Source: My First Summer in the Sierra: Illustrated Edition
“Poetry's unnat'ral; no man ever talked poetry 'cept a beadle on boxin' day, or Warren's blackin' or Rowland's oil, or some o' them low fellows; never you let yourself down to talk poetry, my boy.” MenFunnyPoetryBoysPoetLowsHumorousFellowsOilMy Boys Author:Charles Dickens
“Pound was silly, bumptious, extravagantly generous, annoying, exhibitionistic; Eliot was sensible, cautious, retiring, soothing, shy. Though Pound wrote some brilliant passages, on the whole he was a failure as a poet (sometimes even in his own estimation); Eliot went from success to success and is still quoted--and misquoted--by thousands of people who have never read him. Both men were expatriates by choice, but Eliot renounced his American citizenship and did his best to become assimilated with his fellow British subjects, while Pound always remained an American in exile.” PeopleMenStillsSometimesWholeChoicesSubjectsPoetFellowsBritishBrilliantSillyGenerousShyPoundsPassagesRetiringAnnoyingSensibleCitizenshipExileCautiousSoothingEstimationEliotExpatriatesAmerican Citizenship Author:T.S.

“The ideal audience the poet imagines consists of the beautiful who go to bed with him, the powerful who invite him to dinner and tell him secrets of state, and his fellow-poets. The actual audience he gets consists of myopic schoolteachers, pimply young men who eat in cafeterias, and his fellow-poets. This means, in fact, he writes for his fellow-poets.” MenWritingMeanStatesFactsBeautifulYoungPowerfulSecretAudienceImaginePoetBedIdealsFellowsDinnerYoung ManInvitesCafeteriaMyopic Author:W. H. Auden

“Oh the Broom, the yellow Broom, The ancient poet sung it, And dear it is on summer days To lie at rest among it. I know the realms where people say The flowers have not their fellow; I know where they shine out like suns, The crimson and the yellow. I know where ladies live enchained In luxury's silken fetters, And flowers as bright as glittering gems Are used for written letters. But ne'er was flower so fair as this, In modern days or olden; It groweth on its nodding stem Like to a garland golden.” PeopleKnowsUsedLyingSunWrittenModernPoetFlowerSummerFairsLettersFellowsShiningDearAncientGoldenLuxuryRealmsYellowStemJulyGemsFettersModern DayCrimsonGarlandsBroomsNoddingSummer Days Author:Mary Howitt
