POETRY:

  • "I don't think anyone's poetry is better than anyone else's. If emotion is in it, and it is from the heart, all poetry is beautiful."--joffe

  • "They were just poets, playing with words . . . "--Bonni McKeown, re: Simon & Garfunkel vs. CSNY

  • "Poetry is an echo asking a shadow to dance . . ."--Carl Sandburg

  • "And I am dumb to tell a weather's wind
    How time has ticked a heaven round the stars"--Dylan Thomas

  • "Laughter is day, and sobriety is night; a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewitching than either."
    -- Henry Ward Beecher

  • "The trouble with America isn't that the poetry of life has turned to prose, but that it has turned to advertising copy."--Mortimer B. Zuckerman (I kid you not!) in US News & World Report.

  • "Time held me green and dying
    Though I sang in my chains like the sea . . ."
    --Dylan Thomas, 'Fern Hill.'
