I love these musings on poetry itself.
"Poets are caretakers of language, the shepherds of words, keeping them from harm, expoitation & misuse. Words not only mean something, they ARE something; each with a sound and rhythm all its own. Poets draw us into a deeper respect for the reality of the words they set before us." Eugene H. Peterson
"Science is for those who learn, Poetry is for those who know". Joseph Roux
I'll add this one that is on Bobby Kennedy's grave...
"He who learns must suffer. Even in our sleep, pain which we cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, comes wisdom by the awful grace of God." Aeschylus
Now dat's poetry !.
