gouda, feta & stinking bishop

-Carl Sandburg

Who can tell the dancer from the dance?
-William Butler Yeats

The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.
-Gilbert K. Chesterton

Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting.
-Robert Frost

You can't write poetry on the computer.
-Quentin Tarantino

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
-Robert Frost

"Therefore" is a word the poet must not know.
-Andre Gide
