Poetry Sculpture Painting

More From Walter Savage Landor

That sculpture is more admirable than painting for the reason that it contains relief and painting does not is completely false. ... rather, how much more admirable the painting must be considered, if having no relief at all, it appears to have as much as sculpture!

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.

All that stuff about flatness - it's this idea that painting is a specialized discipline and that modernist painting increasingly refers to painting and is refining the laws of painting. but who cares about painting? what we care about is that the planet is heating up, species are disappearing, there's war, and there are beautiful girls here in brooklyn on the avenue and there's food and flowers.

There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.

Poetry is the most informative of all of the arts because everything comes down to poetry. no matter what it is we are describing, ultimately we use either a metaphor; or we say "that's poetry in motion." you drink a glass of wine and say, "that's poetry in a bottle." everything is poetry, so i think we come down to emotional information. and that's what poetry conveys.

Painting gives the object itself; poetry what it implies. painting embodies what a thing contains in itself; poetry suggests what exists out of it, in any manner connected with it.

To defend something is always to discredit it. let a man have a warehouse full of gold, let him be willing to give away a ducat to every one of the poor - but let him also be stupid enough to begin this charitable undertaking of his with a defense in which he offers three good reasons in justification; and it will almost come to the point of people finding it doubtful whether indeed he is doing something good. but now for christianity. yes, the person who defends that has never believed in it.
