Louis MacNeice Zitate

Good poets have written in order to describe something or to preach something - with their eye on the object or the end. The essence of the poetry does not lie in the thing described or in the message imparted but in the resulting concrete unity, the poem.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Gute Dichter haben geschrieben, um etwas zu beschreiben oder etwas zu predigen - mit Blick auf das Objekt oder das Ende. Die Essenz der Dichtung liegt nicht in der beschriebenen Sache oder in der vermittelten Botschaft, sondern in der daraus resultierenden konkreten Einheit, dem Gedicht.

There's something about beautiful moments in sports that alters our experience of time. And I'd say the same thing about poetry and gardening. Gardening slows me down. I want to stop and observe everything.

Others are keen to see if natives other than us live better than we do, without heat in pipes, ice in boxes, sunshine in bulbs, music on disks, or images gliding over a pale screen.

I think the term poet is a very exalted term and should be applied to a man at the end of his work. When he looks back over the body of his work and he's written poetry then let the verdict be that he's a poet.

Leonard Cohen

When we put the pen to paper, we articulate things in our life that we may have felt vague about. Before you write about something, somebody says, 'How do you feel?' and you say, 'Oh, I feel okay.' Then you write about it, and you discover you don't feel okay.
