Raging Rhetoric

“A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.”
― Robert Frost

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

“Every angel is terrifying.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies

“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
