What is a Poet? " Poetry is an imaginative awareness of experience expressed through meaning, sound, and rhythmic language choices so as to evoke an emotional response " - Mark Flanagan " A poet is an unhappy being whose heart is torn by secret suffering, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music.............And when a crowd gathers about the poet and says to him: "Sing for us soon again"; that is as much as to say: May new sufferings torment your soul." - Kierkegaard " When you are in love, you don't have to be with the person but at least you know that you are capable to love and to be loved." Anton Alimin " Any healthy man can go without food for two days, but not without poetry." Rolf Heimann ".....even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God". Aeschylus |
