A poet is not somebody who has great thoughts..... : Quote by Mark Forsyth

“ A poet is not somebody who has great thoughts. That is the menial duty of the philosopher. A poet is somebody who expresses his thoughts, however commonplace they may be, exquisitely. That is the one and only difference between the poet and everybody else. ”
