Can One Be A Poet If He Doesn't Write A Single Line?




He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life.

- George Sand, 1851



A true poet is one who took delights in poetry, not necessarily one writes it.

The poet is in the end probably more afraid of the dogmatist who wants to extract the message from the poem and throw the poem away than he is of the sentimentalist who says, "Oh, just let me enjoy the poem."

- Robert Penn Warren


Poetry are meant to be enjoyed with the heart not the mind.
