Poetry Quotes

"The eyes of fire, the nostrils of air, the mouth of war" "And the days are not full enough and the nights are not full enough and life slips by like a field mouse." "Beyond the veil, a future mirth, " "Tis all a chequer-board of nights and days, " "Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring " "Love is a friendship set to music" "The calm, cool face of the river asked me for a kiss " "The night winds whisper to me " "The weary blues echoed through the night " "A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman" "Understand that poetry is not meant to be understood" "We are the hollow men, we are the stuffed men" "Midnight shakes the memory as a madman shakes" "We have lingered in the chambers of the sea" "Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair" "For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun" "I will show you fear in a handful of dust" "Between the desire and the spasm" "A heap of broken images, where the sun beats" "These fragments I have shored against my ruins"
