More From Eugenio Montale
- "There is poetry even in prose, in all the great prose which is not merely utilitarian or didactic: there exist poets who write in prose or at least in more or less apparent prose; millions of poets write verses which have no connection with poetry."
- "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."
- "Poetry is the art which is technically within the grasp of everyone: a piece of paper and a pencil and one is ready."

- "The mystic purchases a moment of exhilaration with a lifetime of confusion; and the confusion is infectious and destructive. It is confusing and destructive to try and explain anything in terms of anything else, poetry in terms of psychology."― Basil Bunting
- "Poetry is like making a joke. If you get one word wrong at the end of a joke, you’ve lost the whole thing."― W. S. Merwin
