G.K. Chesterton Quotes

The Great Error Consists In Supposing That Poetry Is An Unnatural Form Of Language. We Should All Like To Speak Poetry At The Moment When We Truly Live, And If We Do Not Speak It, It Is Because We Have An Impediment In Our Speech. It Is Not Song That Is The Narrow Or Artificial Thing, It Is Conversation That Is A Broken And Stammering Attempt At Song. When We See Men In A Spiritual Extravaganza, Like Cyrano De Bergerac, Speaking In Rhyme, It Is Not Our Language Disguised Or Distorted, But Our Language Rounded And Made Whole.
