Everything has its poetry. 94

Every word was once a poem.

I believe that poetry is a primal impulse within us all.

Everything begins with an idea.

I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything.

We are surrounded by poetry on all sides...

Every poem is a prayer, a supplication in the cacophony of humanity.

Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning, every poem an epitaph.

Everything starts as somebody's dream.

The poet, in the novelty of his images, is always the origin of language.

Everything starts somewhere, though many physicists disagree. But people have always been dimly aware of the problem with the start of things. They wonder how the snowplough driver gets to work, or how the makers of dictionaries look up the spelling of words.

Everywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me.

There is a poem at the heart of things and a mythic story in the heart of each of us.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
