Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive.

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

PAINTING
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.

SCIENCE (3)
There's real poetry in the real world. Science is the poetry of reality.
Richard Dawkins
Poetry is a sort of inspired mathematics, which gives us equations, not for abstract figures, triangles, squares, and the like, but for the human emotions. If one has a mind which inclines to magic rather than science, one will prefer to speak of these equations as spells or incantations; it sounds more arcane, mysterious, recondite.
Ezra Pound
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by all, something that no one ever knew before. In poetry it is the opposite.
