Quote by Leonard Cohen
I think the term poet is a very exalted term and should be applied

I think the term poet is a very exalted term and should be applied to a man at the end of his work. When he looks back over the body of his work and hes written poetry then let the verdict be that hes a poet. – Leonard Cohen
