Poetry personified. She is not the Tenth Muse but all Nine Muses in one — and painting and sculpture as well.

Laredo Taft, sculptor as quoted in Archaism, Modernism, and the Art of Paul Manship (1993) by Susan Rather, p. 124, also in "About Isadora Duncan" by Lori Belilove at the Isadora Duncan Dance CompanyIsadora Duncan

Harmony, rhythm, concision, concinnity are all elements that are epitomized in poetry. Cultivated in poetry, which is the nucleus of the creative impulse, these elemetns serve every art form: acting a character, writing a novel, creating music, dance, sculpture, painting."
Vanna Bonta
Architecture, sculpture, painting, music, and poetry, may truly be called the efflorescence of civilised life.
Herbert Spencer
The tenth Muse who now governs the periodical press.
Anthony Trollope
Two goddesses now must Cyprus adore;
The Muses are ten, the Graces are four;
Stella's wit is so charming, so sweet her fair face;
She shines a new Venus, a Muse, and a Grace.Callimachus
I used to worship the mighty genius of Michael Angelo — that man who was great in poetry, painting, sculpture, architecture — great in every thing he undertook. But I do not want Michael Angelo for breakfast — for luncheon — for dinner — for tea — for supper — for between meals. I like a change, occasionally.
Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain) Clemens
