Philosophy Of Poetry Quotes

“Poetry and Philosophy (The Sonnet) Good poetry is but philosophy, Good philosophy is but poetry. It is only the majority amateurs, Who insist on a divided duality. Poetry is not about the rhyming, Philosophy is not about profundity. A warm philosopher is walking poetry, A gentle poet is walking philosophy. Poetry is the most potent form of philosophy, As it brings illumination through simplicity. Anybody can make things sound more complicated, Only the best philosophers can write good poetry. In philosophy, deeper we go, simpler things get. Philosopher talks of light, poet swims in it.”

“Poetry is the mightiest vessel for philosophy, Poetry is the mightiest vessel for science. Though I started out with prose, I went through the poetic morph. Now all my science is poetry, all my poetry is philosophy.”

“Poetry Writes The Poet (The Sonnet) The best poets are the ones, Who don't know how to write poetry. Just like the best scientists are those, Who practice science as everyday curiosity. The more you focus on the definition, The more you lose touch with the essence. That is why I never know what my work is about, To explain love is to lose love's fragrance. Painting of a landscape is not the landscape itself, Depiction must never be confused with the depicted. I don't know how to do small talk, hence the sonnets. Poet doesn't write poetry, poetry writes the poet. The moment I think I am in control, I lose all control. Craving no control, the river just nourishes the soul.”
