Eugenio Montale quotes - page 2

There is poetry even in prose, in all the great prose which is not merely utilitarian or didactic: there exist poets who write in prose or at least in more or less apparent prose; millions of poets write verses which have no connection with poetry. (Eugenio Montale)

Eugenio Montale
