Block Classic

Famous quotes containing the words block and/or classic:

“Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
—Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)

“For years, they have all been dying
Out, the classic buck-and-wing men”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
