Quotations for verse

Poetry is the eloquence of verse. [ Bryant ]

A verse may find him whom a sermon flies
And turn delight into a sacrifice. [ George Herbert ]

Truth shines the brighter, clad in verse. [ Pope ]

Happy who in his verse can gently steer,
From grave to light, from pleasant to severe. [ John Dryden ]

Sweet are the pleasures that to verse belong.
And doubly sweet a brotherhood in song. [ Keats ]

Cursed be the verse, how well so ever it flow,
That tends to make one worthy man my foe. [ Pope ]

Kiss rhymes to bliss in fact, as well as verse. [ Byron ]

Every tear is a verse, and every heart is a poem. [ Marc Andre ]

Read Homer once, and you can read no more,
For all books else appear so mean, so poor.
Verse will seem prose, but still persist to read,
And Homer will be all the books you need. [ John Sheffield ]

Critics on verse, as squibs on triumphs wait.
Proclaim their glory, and augment the state;
Hot, envious, noisy, proud, the scribbling fry
Burn, hiss, and bounce, waste paper, ink, and die. [ Young ]

Women are not apt to be won by the charms of verse. [ Bayard Taylor ]

What of them is left, to tell
Where they lie, and how they fell?
Not a stone on their turf, nor a bone in their graves:
But they live in the Verse that immortally saves. [ Byron ]

In the art of design, color is to form what verse is to prose, - a more harmonious and luminous vehicle of the thought. [ Mrs. Jameson ]

Poetry is the sister of Sorrow. Every man that suffers and weeps is a poet; every tear is a verse, and every heart a poem. [ Marc Andre ]

Pretty conceptions, fine metaphors, glittering expressions, and something of a neat cast of verse are properly the dress, gems, or loose ornaments of poetry. [ Pope ]

The poet in prose or verse - the creator - can only stamp his images forcibly on the page in proportion as he has forcibly felt, ardently nursed, and long brooded over them. [ Bulwer-Lytton ]

An artist that works in marble or colors has them all to himself and his tribe: but the man who moulds his thoughts in verse has to employ the materials vulgarized by everybody's use, and glorify them by his handling. [ O. W. Holmes ]

Harmony of period and melody of style have greater weight than is generally imagined in the judgment we pass upon writing and writers. As a proof of this, let us reflect what texts of scripture, what lines in poetry, or what periods we most remember and quote, either in verse or prose, and we shall find them to be only musical ones. [ Shenstone ]
