Poets

“

If you wish,
I shall grow irreproachably tender:
Not a man, but a cloud in trousers!

Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovski

“

It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.

E. M. Forster

“

I said, “A line will take us hours maybe;
Yet if it does not seem a moment’s thought,
Our stitching and unstitching has been naught.
Better go down upon your marrow-bones
And scrub a kitchen pavement, or break stones.”

William Butler Yeats

“

Maybe you could be mine / or maybe we’ll be entwined / aimless in this sexless foreplay.

Jess C. Scott

“

Even when the poet seems most himself… he is never the bundle of accident and incoherence that sits down to breakfast; he has been reborn as an idea, something intended, complete.

William Butler Yeats

“

Irish poets, learn your trade,
Sing whatever is well made.

William Butler Yeats

“

It’s certain there is no fine thing Since Adam’s fall but needs much laboring.

William Butler Yeats
