The poetry of the earth is never dead.

I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry getting the music out of the way and having only words the spoken word and then see what happens.

There are certain things in which mediocrity is not to be endured such as poetry music painting public speaking.

Music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance... poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music.

The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.

Lean your body forward slightly to support the guitar against your chest for the poetry of the music should resound in your heart.

Poetry fettered fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion as their poetry painting and music are destroyed or flourish.

Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.

There's no money in poetry but then there's no poetry in money either.

Thinking in its lower grades is comparable to paper money and in its higher forms it is a kind of poetry.
