About This Quote
This quote is best summed up by the saying, "it's so easy to be a poet, and so hard to be a man." The idea of poetry is that it's easy to write verses about something that's meaningful. It's easy to write about what you feel; it's easy to express yourself. But it's hard to do anything else in life—to shape yourself into something greater than these words can describe.
