Additional quotes by Emma Lazarus

Poetry must be simple, sensuous, or impassioned.

Sweet empty sky of June without a stain,
Faint, gray-blue dewy mists on far-off hills
Warm, yellow sunlight flooding mead and plain,
That each dark copse and hollow overfills:

No man had ever heard a nightingale,
When once a keen-eyed naturalist was stirred
To study and define — what is a bird.

No signs of life are here: the very prayers Inscribed around are in a language dead. - Emma Lazarus
