W. W. Sawyer Quotes
Most remarks made by children consist of correct ideas very badly expressed. A good teacher will be very wary of saying 'No, that's wrong.'

The Divine Comedy is a political poem and when you say poetry is not about - he's always quoted out of context, that "poetry makes nothing happen," that doesn't mean you shrug your shoulders and don't try to make anything happen.

He didn't feel that you could just rule out so important a section of life - we care about these things, and it's out of caring about them that we write poetry.
