Carl Sandburg on Poetry

· Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits.

· Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.

· Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.

· Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during the moment.
