Sonnet Quotes - Page 5

• El baile, en su mayor parte, va acompañado de muchas sonrisas amorosas, cumplidos licenciosos, besos impúdicos, canciones y sonetos escabrosos, música afeminada, atuendos que provocan la lujuria, ridículas travesuras amorosas, todo lo cual sólo sabe a sensualidad, a lujurias carnales desenfrenadas. Por lo tanto, es algo que todo buen cristiano debe abandonar por completo.

  William Prynne

• En su lengua existe una forma de poesía llamada soneto... Tiene catorce versos, creo, todos en pentámetro yámbico. Es un ritmo o metro muy estricto... Y cada verso tiene que terminar con un patrón rígido. Y si el poeta no lo hace exactamente así, no es un soneto... Pero dentro de esta forma estricta, el poeta tiene total libertad para decir lo que quiera... Te dan la forma, pero tienes que escribir el soneto tú mismo. Lo que digas depende completamente de ti.

  Madeleine L'Engle

• I prefer formal techniques, and use sonnets and rhyme, any manner of scheme to give a shape and order-of feeling as well as argument-to a poem. But all my life, I've also been a person who's made his bed in the morning and picks up the bath mat. That's what I mean by temperament. Whether genetic or acquired, I have a disposition to arrangements. One is born with this, as if with blue eyes or a weak heart. Do you think Allen Ginsberg ever put the cap back on his toothpaste?

• The idea that a student can write a sonnet or a novel without having a sound understanding about its history, and where it fits into literature as a whole, seems to me to be manifestly daft.

• There is no objection to the proposal: in order to learn to be a poet, I shall try to write a sonnet. But the thing you must try to write, when you do so, is a real sonnet, and not a practice sonnet.

• No creo que pueda creer realmente en el Juicio Final; difícilmente podría creer en premios y castigos, en el cielo o en el infierno. Como escribí en uno de mis sonetos -parece que siempre estoy plagiando, imitándome a mí mismo o a alguien más- creo que soy bastante indigno del cielo o del infierno, e incluso de la inmortalidad.

• I came from a white middle class neighborhood. Was I expected to go back there and teach the woman next door about Renaissance sonnets? The embarrassing truth of the matter was that I was being chosen because Yale University had some peculiar idea about what my skin color or ethnicity signified.

• The next time you see a person with a composed face and a soft voice, remember that inside her mind she might be solving an equation, composing a sonnet, designing a hat. She might, that is, be deploying the power of quiet.

• A story is a story is a story. The only difference is in the techniques you bring to bear. There are always limitations on what you can and can't do. But I enjoy that. Just like when you write a sonnet or haiku, there are rules you have to abide by. And to me, playing within the rules is the fun part. It keeps the brain fresh.

• Every time I get happy
  the Nana-hex comes through.
  Birds turn into plumber's tools,
  a sonnet turns into a dirty joke,
  a wind turns into a tracheotomy,
  a boat turns into a corpse.

• The true self seeks release, not constraint. It doesnt want to be corseted in a sonnet or made to learn a system of musical notations. It wants liberation, which is why very often it fastens on the novel, for the novel seems spacious, undefined, free.

• So, some of the most difficult formal poems that I've written, say one sentence sonnets, I've been able to do those fairly quickly whereas some of the clearest, simplest lyrics that I've written have taken me the longest to get to the clarity of feeling that you're looking for.

• I strive for what you do find in Shakespeare's work - that there is a definite humanity and a definite character behind the writing in the sonnets, and it's very real because it's so deeply personal. I try to aspire to that in what I do.

• Often you've read another poem that you think is so beautiful that you'd like to make something like that. And so you try to make a sonnet that works in a certain kind of way, or you try to make something that's songlike, or you create a refrain, or you love the way a poem works in two line stanzas and you try to do that.

• Los únicos artistas que he conocido que son personalmente encantadores son los malos artistas. Los buenos artistas existen simplemente por lo que hacen y, en consecuencia, carecen de interés por lo que son. Un gran poeta, un poeta realmente grande, es la más antipoética de todas las criaturas. Pero los poetas inferiores son absolutamente fascinantes. Cuanto peores son sus rimas, más pintorescos resultan. El mero hecho de haber publicado un libro de sonetos de segunda categoría convierte a un hombre en irresistible. Vive la poesía que no puede escribir. Los demás escriben la poesía que no se atreven a realizar.

• I hope you will love your baby. I hope it will be a boy. That husband of yours, I hope, will always treat you well, because otherwise my specter shall come out of him, like black smoke, like a demented giant, and pull him apart nerve by nerve. ... I am thinking of aurochs and angels, the secret of durable pigments, prophetic sonnets, the refuge of art. And this is the only immortality you and I may share, my Lolita.

• I was born in the era of the novel. I've written many, as well as collections of poetry, and essays for mouthing off. I've written to inches, word-counts, page-counts, even the sonnet and the screenplay (which I call a plot poem). I write narrative. That's it. I just want to tell it.

• Characters to me are like sonnets, they have limits that you obey which allow a force to enter in, an invention that makes the novel possible. Change the limits and the force leaves. The novel becomes impossible.
