Spiritual Poems

“

I am the poet of the Body and I am the poet of the Soul.

Walt Whitman

“

A sonnet is a moment’s monument—
Memorial from the soul’s eternity
To one dead deathless hour.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

“

I reckon—when I count at all—
First—Poets—Then the Sun—
Then Summer—Then the Heaven of God—
And then—the List is done—
But, looking back—the First so seems
To Comprehend the Whole—
The Others look a needless Show—
So I write—Poets—All—

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

“

It [Poesy] was ever thought to have some participation of divineness, because it doth raise and erect the mind by submitting the shows of things to the desires of the mind.

Francis Bacon

“

Turn away no more.
Why wilt thou turn away?
The starry floor,
The wat’ry shore
Is giv’n thee till the break of day.

William Blake
