Pilfering Poets (part 2)

something funny and fitting

Part 2

They had their lean books with the fat of others' works.
~Robert Burton

Their writings are thoughts stolen from us by anticipation.
~Alexis Piron

Next o'er his books his eyes began to roll,
In pleasing memory of all he stole;
How here he sipp'd, how there he plunder'd snug,
And suck'd all o'er like an industrious bug.
~Alexander Pope

We can say nothing but what hath been said . . .
Our poets steal from Homer . . . .
Our storydressers do as much;
he that comes last is commonly best.
~Robert Burton



Who, to patch up his fame--or fill his purse-- Still pilfers wretched plans, and makes them worse; Like gypsies, lest the stolen brat be known, Defacing first, then claiming for his own.
~Charles Churchill

Because they commonly make use of treasure found in books,
as of other treasure belonging to the dead
and hidden underground;
for they dispose of both with great secrecy,
defacing the shape and image
of the one as much as of the other.
~Sir William Davenant

Perish those who said our good things before we did.
~Aelius Donatus

When Shakespeare is charges with debts to his authors,
Landor replies, "Yet he was more original than his originals.
He breathed upon dead bodies and brought them into life."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson


For such kind of borrowing as this,
if it be not bettered by the borrower,
among good authors is accounted plagiary.
~John Milton

He liked those literary cooks
Who skim the cream of others' books;
And ruin half an author's graces
By plucking bon-mots from their places.
~Hannah More

With him most authors steal their works,
or buy; Garth did not write his own Dispensary.
~Alexander Pope

...it's follow. see if you could spell a word, let alone string a few together, you might not have to steal poems for your ego to be rubbed. learn how to write and stop stealing other people's poetry and you won't have to deal with people who are angry with you for stealing off them


you can go ahead and block me now

Nice to see another band wagon b***h who don't know the facts oh wow big deal a typo so what but go's to show what a petty little man you are

Ive been a member here for 10 years I have posted some 1000 poems just on this site alone I have done many collaborations I was accused of stealing a poem 3 years ago after being here 7 years with no problems I proved the poem was mine and I AM STILL HERE that should tell you something 10 year mark I stood up for a writer here and now I am being attacked by many fake pages made by the same person who is cyber stalking me this same person has also been harassing other writers here

Move on you do not know me or my work if you had actually bothered to read my work you would see I have my own style I am 35 I have been writing since I was 9 or 10 I have even been published in books/anthologies way back when I was in 6th grade and even that poem was plagiarized and I proved it was mine as I will do with anything you accuse me of

People like you need to lead not me sheep do your research
