"You will find poetry nowhere unless you bring some of it with you." ― Joseph Joubert Topic(s): Poetry More From Joseph Joubert "Love and fear. Everything the father of a family says must inspire one or the other." "He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet." "You will not find poetry anywhere unless you bring some of it with you." More In Poetry "That sense of a life in natural objects, which in most poetry is but a rhetorical artifice, was, then, in Wordsworth the assertion of what was for him almost literal fact."― Walter Pater "Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds."― Percy Bysshe Shelley "Now I think poetry will save nothing from oblivion, but I keep writing about the ordinary because for me it’s the home of the extraordinary, the only home."― Philip Levine
