FAMOUS POETS AND THEIR VIEWS OF POETRY

'I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry; that is prose; words in their best order; poetry; the best words in the best order.'


Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.'   

'I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.'


WHAT'S YOUR VIEW OF POETRY??
