From the Mouths of Babes and Poets The art of cultured eloquence The beauty of a phrase Is sculptured by intelligence Refined in former days Nothing can inspire us Nor stir the spirit’s core Like the pure aesthtic sound Of crystal phrases being poured The grace of hand in chronicles Or great historic speech Are heights to which the tentacles Of scholars seldom reach The ramblings of an orator Are twitterings of birds From the mouths of babes and poets Come the most enchanting words Elizabeth Santos 8/23/01 |

Royal courts had official poets. Books of famous quotes contain more poets than otherwise. Truth comes to play here and I am finding that not everyone wants to hear it. Enjoyed "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

THank you dear poets for your outstanding poetry and your inspiration, and if you want true poetic license, listen to a 3 year old. What beautiful phrases they concoct. Thank you for your kind comments Liz |
