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:
“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)
“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)
