- Change theme
Quotes by Laura Riding
- The end of poetry is not to create a physical condition which shall give pleasure to the mind... The end of poetry is not an after-effect, not a pleasurable memory of itself, but an immediate, constant and even unpleasant insistence upon itself.
- To a poet the mere making of a poem can seem to solve the problem of truth, but only a problem of art is solved in poetry.
