Quotation

- Coucher de soleil
- Le Soleil s'est ouvert les veines
- Sur un lit de nuages roux:
- Son sang, par la bouche des trous,
- S'éjacule en rouges fontaines.
- Les rameaux convulsifs des chênes
- Flagellent les horizons fous;
- Le Soleil s'est ouvert les veines
- Sur un lit de nuages roux:
- Comme, après les hontes romaines,
- Un débauché plein de dégoûts
- Laissant jusqu'aux sales égouts
- Saigner ses artères malsaines,
- Le Soleil s'est ouvert les veines!

Famous quotes containing the word quotation:
“It is an old error of man to forget to put quotation marks where he borrows from a woman’s brain!”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behoves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c’est l’homme, what is likely to happen if l’homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?”
—Dame Ethel Smyth (1858–1944)
“In the theater, while you recognized that you were looking at a house, it was a house in quotation marks. On screen, the quotation marks tend to be blotted out by the camera.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
