Raging Rhetoric

“Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.”
― T.S. Eliot

“Poetry might be defined as the clear expression of mixed feelings.”
― W.H. Auden, New Year Letter

“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.”
― Leonardo da Vinci

“A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone's knowledge of himself and the world around him.”
― Dylan Thomas
