And I started dragging my parents to festivals, and fairs, and karaoke contests, and I did that for about a year before I came to Nashville for the first time.

Music
"It is commonly asserted and accepted that Paradise Lost is among the two or three greatest English poems; it may justly be taken as the type of supreme poetic achievement in our literature."
Achievement
"Any long work in which poetry is persistent, be it epic or drama or narrative, is really a succession of separate poetic experiences governed into a related whole by an energy distinct from that which evoked them."
Poetry
"So it is in poetry. All we ask is that the mood recorded shall impress us as having been of the kind that exhausts the imaginative capacity; if it fails to do this the failure will announce itself either in prose or in insignificant verse."
Poetry
"Poetry is the communication through words of certain experiences that can be communicated in no other way."
Poetry
"It should here be added that poetry habitually takes the form of verse."
Poetry

Life
"But in the finished art of the song the use of words has no connection with the use of words in poetry."
