From Out The Void: A Volume Of Verse

This volume contains a more or less nomadic collection of verse and poems, produced throughout a period of forty years in an otherwise active life. It represents selected subjects, several of which have never been offered for publication. Some have elicited favorable comment; others have been reprinted in books and magazines or preserved in the scrapbooks of friends and acquaintances. A few have been declaimed on various occasions. It is the sincere hope of the subscriber that the book may find a permanent place in the esteem of the reading public. - Wilbur D. Spencer Quotes About Poetry "Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful." - Emily Dickinson "Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words" - Edgar Allan Poe "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words" - Robert Frost "I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean" - Socrates "Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility" - William Wordsworth "Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular" - Aristotle "Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history" - Plato "Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth" - Samuel JohnsonRead more
