Robert Hass
“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.”
Roy Croft

Kahlil Gibran
“A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty”
Edgar Allan Poe
“It is as impossible to translate poetry as it is to translate music.”
Voltaire
