"A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness." ― Robert Frost Topic(s): Poetry More From Robert Frost "I always entertain great hopes." "Take care to sell your horse before he dies. The art of life is passing losses on." "The artist in me cries out for design." More In Poetry "Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others."― Antonin Artaud "With President Obama, there’s a feeling that he gets it. He has women in his life. He knows that our health care is important, that it’s important able to get access to the care that we need when we need it. That’s what translates. Women hear that when they hear him speak about these issues. He will be a champion and will defend us when we need it."― Sandra Fluke "Religion is no more possible without prayer than poetry without language, or music without atmosphere."― James Martineau
