The clear French landscape is as pure as a verse of Racine.
Paul Cezanne
The decision to write in prose instead of poetry is made more by the readers than by writers. Almost no one is interested in reading narrative in verse.
Robert Morgan
The earliest form in which romances appear is that of a rude kind of verse.
Thomas Bulfinch
The fact that something is in a rhymed form or in blank verse will not make it good poetry.
Robert Morgan
The heroes of our youth grow old - 'the boys of summer in their ruin,' in Dylan Thomas's verse - yet we seem the same.
John Thorn
The record Clef and I did was just sitting there. So I said, Clef, I got a record, hit a verse on it. He just went in, messed around and ended up doing the hook too.
Pras Michel
The rudiment of verse may, possibly, be found in the spondee.
Edgar Allan Poe
Their free verse was no form at all, yet it made history.
John C. Ransom
Verse is not written, it is bled; Out of the poet's abstract head. Words drip the poem on the page; Out of his grief, delight and rage.
Paul Engle
Verse satire indeed is entirely our own.
Quintilian
Verse, singing, and speech have a common origin.
Jean Philippe Rameau
We learned a verse of this and that and we were having fun with the songs. Tommy would make up stories to go along with them and I would yell at him, 'Hey, stupid, that's not right,' and he was like a silly kid trying to impress.
Dick Smothers
What I do say is that I can write verse, and that the writing of verse in strict form is the best possible training for writing good prose.
Philip Pullman
When you translate poetry in particular, you're obliged to look at how the writer with whom you're working puts together words, sentences, phrases, the triple tension between the line of verse, the syntax and the sentence.
Marilyn Hacker
With a lot of songs on this record, one verse doesn't relate to the next verse. I don't think that one day really relates to the next day in life.
Neil Young
Work in the theater sharpened my verse and my cinema.
James Broughton
Write verse, not poetry. The public wants verse. If you have a talent for poetry, then don't by any means mother it, but try your hand at verse.
Robert W. Service
Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.
Robert Frost
Yes, the work comes out more beautiful from a material that resists the process, verse, marble, onyx, or enamel.
Theophile Gautier
You can't enjoy light verse with a heavy heart.
Russell Baker
