"Theater and poetry were what helped people stay alive and want to go on living." ― Vanessa Redgrave Topic(s): Poetry More In Poetry "The irony is, going to work every day became the subject of probably my best poetry."― Philip Levine "Serious poetry deals with the fundamental conflicts that cannot be logically resolved: we can state the conflicts rationally, but reason does not relieve us of them."― Allen Tate "France is not poetic; she even feels, in fact, a congenital horror of poetry. Among the writers who use verse, those whom she will always prefer are the most prosaic."― Charles Baudelaire
