poetry

"Poetry is a life-cherishing force."

"One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words."

"Go wisely and slowly. Those who rush stumble and fall."

"أي علم هذا الذي لم يستطع حتى الآن أن يضع أصوات من نحب في أقراص ، أو زجاجة دواء نتناولها سرًّا ، عندما نصاب بوعكة عاطفية بدون أن يدري صاحبها كم نحن نحتاجه"

"I want to see thirstIn the syllables,Tough fireIn the sound;Feel through the darkFor the scream."

"Wordplay hides a key to reality that the dictionary tries in vain to lock inside every free word."

"She who reconciles the ill-matched threadsOf her life, and weaves them gratefullyInto a single cloth – It’s she who drives the loudmouths from the hallAnd clears it for a different celebration."

"in a worldfull oftemporary thingsyou area perpetual feeling."

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race."

"I am the poet of the poor, because I was poor when I loved; since I could not give gifts, I gave words."

"There is a time for reciting poems and a time for fists."

"The bridge will only take you halfway there, to those mysterious lands you long to see. Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fair, and moonlit woods where unicorns run free. So come and walk awhile with me and share the twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known. But this bridge will only take you halfway there. The last few steps you have to take alone."

"No drowning man can know which dropOf water his last breath did stop"

"Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed."

"There is nothing at all that can be talked about adequately, and the whole art of poetry is to say what can't be said."

"I see all of us reading ourselves away from ourselves, straining in circles of light to find more light until the line of words becomes a trail of crumbs that we follow across a page of fresh snow"

"Uncontradicting solitudeSupports me on its giant palm;And like a sea-anemoneOr simple snail, there cautiouslyUnfolds, emerges, what I am."

"Don't use the phone. People are never ready to answer it. Use poetry."

"Time present and time pastAre both perhaps present in time futureAnd time future contained in time past."

"I will love you forever"swears the poet. I find this easy to swear too. "I will love you at 4:15 pm next Tuesday"- Is that still as easy?"
