Poetry Quote by Margaret Lovett — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You fit into me”

“Nobody wanted your dance,”

“A poet is someone who can use a single image to send a universal message.”

“If poets often commit suicide, it is not because their poems are bad but because they are good. Whoever heard of a bad poet committing suicide? The reader is only a little better off. The exhilaration of a good poem lasts twenty minutes, an hour at most.”

“A page, turning, is a wing lifted with no twin, and therefore no flight. And yet we are moved.”

“Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves.”
