Poet Quote by Thomas Paine

“Fapt este ca termenul „profet”, caruia epocile ulterioare i-au atribuit un nou sens, era cuvantul biblic penru „poet”, iar cuvantul a „profeti” insemna arta de a face poezie. Insemna, de asemenea, arta de a interpreta poezie dupa melodia oricarui instrument muzical.” quote by Thomas Paine — Download Open image
