A poet ought not to pick nature's pocket. Let him borrow, and so
borrow as to repay by the very act of borrowing. Examine nature accurately, but
write from recollection, and trust more to the imagination than the memory. - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A poem records emotions and moods
that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted
at metaphorically. - Diane Ackerman
Poetry is the utterance of deep and heart-felt truth – the
true poet is very near the oracle. - Edwin Hubble Chapin
Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words. - Edgar
Allan Poe
