Quotes about Creation by Lascelles Abercrombie

Lascelles Abercrombie British Poet

Quote by Lascelles Abercrombie about creation

Poetry is the work of poets, not of peoples or communities; artistic creation can never be anything but the production of an individual mind.

Quote by Lascelles Abercrombie about creation
