Poetry
(page 2)
From the beginnings of literature, poets and writers have based their narratives on crossing borders, on wandering, on exile, on encounters beyond the familiar. The stranger is an archetype in epic poetry, in novels. The tension between alienation and assimilation has always been a basic theme.
I like to borrow forms and quotes and use a lot of allusions, in both poetry and music.
The poetry of the earth is never dead.
Read something of interest every day — something of interest to you, not to your teacher or your best friend or your minister/rabbi/priest. Comics count. So does poetry. So do editorials in your school newspaper. Or a biography of a rock star. Or an instructional manual. Or the Bible.
Poetry is the lifeblood of rebellion, revolution, and the raising of consciousness.
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.
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks.
The world is full of poetry. The air is living with its spirit; and the waves dance to the music of its melodies, and sparkle in its brightness.
All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.
With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion.
I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty.
The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.
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.
What can a pencil do for all of us? Amazing things. It can write transcendent poetry, uplifting music, or life-changing equations; it can sketch the future, give life to untold beauty, and communicate the full-force of our love and aspirations.
Poetry comes from the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow.
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.
