Dylan Thomas!
Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.
Carl Sandburg!
Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.
W. H. Auden
Beauty is truth, truth beauty–that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know

T.S. Eliot
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.
Leonardo da Vinci!
You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise.
Maya Angelou!
Out of the ash I rise with my red hair And I eat men like air.
