POETRY

The greatest poem is not that which is most skillfully constructed, but that in which there is the most poetry.
                    -L.Schefer
Poetry is the sister of sorrow;every man that suffers and weeps, is a poet; every tear is a verse; and every heart a poem.
                      -Andre
Poetry is the utterance of deep and heart-felt truth.The true poet is very near the oracle.
                       -E.H.Chapin
Poetry is itself a thing of God.He made his prophets poets; and the more we feel of poesie do we become like God in love and power.
                        -Bailey
Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.
                        -Shelley
The world is full of poetry. The air is living with its spirit; and the waves dance to the music of its melodies, and sparkle in its brightness.
                         -Percival
