"Narrative art, the novel, from Murasaki to Proust, has produced great works of poetry." ― Eugenio Montale Topic(s): Poetry More From Eugenio Montale "Happiness, for you we walk on a knife edge. To the eyes you are a flickering light, to the feet, thin ice that cracks; and so may no one touch you who loves you." "This proves that great lyric poetry can die, be reborn, die again, but will always remain one of the most outstanding creations of the human soul." "True poetry is similar to certain pictures whose owner is unknown and which only a few initiated people know." More In Poetry "I think poetry is best read to oneself."― Rickie Lee Jones "Men are amazing. I love the way they are. They’re consistently little boys, and they need to be nurtured and loved. But at the same time, they need to feel like men."― Krista Allen "My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity."― Wilfred Owen
