Histories in blazonry and poems in stone. [ Ouida ]

Good poetry has a lot in common with good copy. A poem evokes vivid images and strong emotions through very careful word choice. [ Kathy Kleidermacher, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Copywriter's Words And Phrases ]

Fine natures are like fine poems; a glance at the first two lines suffices for a guess into the beauty that waits you if you read on. [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]

Garments will fall to pieces, jewels and gold will lose something of their lustre, but the fame that great poems acquire will last through all time. [ Ovid ]
