"Well, if this is poetry, I’m certainly never going to write any myself." ― James Schuyler Topic(s): Poetry More From James Schuyler "However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can’t be much to it." More In Poetry "Teach you children poetry; it opens the mind, lends grace to wisdom and makes the heroic virtues hereditary."― Walter Scott "Today the U.S. is farther from being nourished by poetry than it was a hundred years ago, when books of poems were best-sellers."― James Broughton "To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one."― John Ruskin
