Poet Food Quotes


"Not all men who drink are poets. Some of us drink because we aren't poets."
unknown

 

"The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese."
G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

 

“Chameleons feed on light and air: Poets' food is love and fame.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley, ‘An Exhortation’

 

    “For nothing keeps a poet
    In his high singing mood
    Like unappeasable hunger
    For unattainable food.”

Joyce Kilmer (1866-1918)

     

    “But I will place this carefully fed pig    
    Within the crackling oven; and, I pray,    
    What nicer dish can e'er be given to man.”

Aeschylus, ancient Greek poet

     

“When poets write about food it is usually celebratory. Food as the thing-in-itself, but also the thoughtful preparation of meals, the serving of meals, meals communally shared: a sense of the sacred in the profane.”
Joyce Carol Oates, American writer. (1935 - )
