More From Amy Lowell

One of the surest tests of the superiority or inferiority of a poet is the way in which a poet borrows. immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. the good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. a good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.

I just said let's get some poets on tv. and when they said that sounded unlikely, i made it worse. i said, no man, i want to put a bunch of black poets on stage, too. some latino poets who barely speak english and asian poets who can't believe how discriminated against they are. it was luck nad being in the right place. i wasn't saying nothing somebody else wasn't saying but they wouldn't hear it from them.

Literature cannot develop between the categories "permitted"—"not permitted"—"this you can and that you can't." literature that is not the air of its contemporary society, that dares not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers, such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a facade. such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as waste paper instead of being read. -letter to the fourth national congress of soviet writers

After all, poets shouldn't be their own interpreters and shouldn't carefully dissect their poems into everyday prose; that would mean the end of being poets. poets send their creations into the world, it is up to the reader, the aesthetician, and the critic to determine what they wanted to say with their creations.

It seems to me that literature is giving way a little bit to the immediacy of other diversions, other forms of entertainment. what will it be in fifty years? i don't know. will there be printed books? probably, but i'm not sure. there's always going to be literature, though. i believe that. i think literature has a way of getting deep into people and being essential. literature has its own powers.

Protagoras did not know if the gods exist, but he held in any case they ought to be worshiped. philosophy, according to him, had nothing edifying to teach, and for the survival of morals we must rely upon the thoughtlessness of the majority and their willingness to believe what they had been taught.
