Austerity Measures

Famous quotes containing the words austerity and/or measures:

“Something
Ought to be written about how this affects
You when you write poetry:
The extreme austerity of an almost empty mind
Colliding with the lush, Rousseau-like foliage of its desire to communicate
Something between breaths....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“thou mayst know,
That flesh is but the glass, which holds the dust
That measures all our time;”
