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:
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We are as much informed of a writer’s genius by what he selects as by what he originates. We read the quotation with his eyes, and find a new and fervent sense; as a passage from one of the poets, well recited, borrows new interest from the rendering. As the journals say, “the italics are ours.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In the dying world I come from quotation is a national vice. It used to be the classics, now it’s lyric verse.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
