Poetry, therefore, we will call musical Thought.
  -- Carlyle

...speech framed...to be heard for its own sake and interest even over and 
above its interest of meaning.
  -- Gerrard Hopkins

...the rhythmic, innevitably narrative, movement from an overclothed
blindness to a naked vision.
  -- Dylan Thomas

...the presentment, in musical form, to the imagination, of noble grounds 
for the noble emotions.
  -- Ruskin

If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold that no fire can ever
can ever warm me, I know that it is poetry.  If I feel physically as if 
the top of my head were taken off, I know that it is poetry.
  -- Emily Dickinson
