Just what is it about certain famous quotes from great poetry that leads
people to celebrate them? We all know that some eminently quotable quotes somehow gain the status of joining the accepted body of familiar quotations but, as well as being capable of moving the human soul, have such profoundly intriguing quotes a basis in an "inborn nature" that all human beings may be held to substantially have in common? Some famous and familiar quotations that may even qualify as being " Central Poetry Insights " are set out in the following scrollable panel:-
William Wordsworth, John Keats and others have left us much food for thought in some of the things they assert about the insights of Poets. |

Sir Stephen SpenderSuch souls, Henry TaylorHeard melodies are sweet, but those unheard John KeatsSensations Sweet, William WordsworthWisdom married to immortal verse. William WordsworthChoice word and measured phrase above the reach William WordsworthPoetry is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge. William WordsworthPoets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand. PlatoPoetry is more philosophical and of higher value than history; for poetry tends to express the universal, history the particular.

AudenWe have assembled an hopefully definitive collection of the insights of the Mystics and Poets. Due to our respect for the profundity of these insights we collectively refer to their authors as - The Sage. The name of our Web site "Age-of-the-Sage" indicates that we consider that the guidance provided by the wisdoms of the Mystics and Poets should be taken very seriously indeed. We hope to persuade you that thanks to the QUITE AWESOME insights of - The Sage - innate human nature can actually be explored, and mapped, in efforts to better comprehend Human Spirituality and Being!!! We have identified a range of KEY quotations that "Somehow Encapsulate" Enlightenments, Wisdoms and Spiritual Insights about these "deep things", and also about another highly significant area of agreement between world faiths that is to do with the relationship between "Spirituality and the wider world":-
Science can not do this but the Mystics and Poets can!!!
Know more about Human Spirituality! Know more about Human Nature! Know more about the Human Condition!
