[Man] asks from prose, only under a more obscure and indefinite form, what he expects from poetry; and indeed, where is the actual boundary between poetry and prose? and how can one help owning that prose is but poetry gradually but never entirely extinguished or calmed down? – Alexandre Vinet (1797–1847)

Poetry is the tunnel at the end of the light. – J. Patrick Lewis, www.jpatricklewis.com

Reading a piece of poetry with no beat in front of 20 people is way more challenging than rocking for 10,000 people. – Macklemore
