"I despair of ever writing excellent poetry." ― Isaac Rosenberg Topic(s): Poetry More From Isaac Rosenberg "I will not leave a corner of my consciousness covered up, but saturate myself with the strange and extraordinary new conditions of this life, and it will all refine itself into poetry later on." "Nobody ever told me what to read, or ever put poetry in my way." More In Poetry "Eloquence is the poetry of prose."― William C. Bryant "Poetry is man’s rebellion against being what he is."― James Branch Cabell "Poetry is innocent, not wise. It does not learn from experience, because each poetic experience is unique."― Karl Shapiro
