greatpoet

Updated: July 24, 2025

"Yes; but a poet who never writes a line. There is nothing in nature to which his imagination does not give a poetic hue. But the power to make others see these objects in the same poetic light, is wanting. Still he is a man of fine powers and feelings; for, next to being a greatpoet, is the power of understanding one, of finding one's-self in him, as we Germans say."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - Hyperion
