Famous quotes containing the words block and/or set:
“Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
Or good, or bad,disfigurd, or depravd,
All art, is at its resurrection savd;
All crownd with glory in the critics heavn,
Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
—Martin Archer, Sir Shee (17691850)
“But now I see I was not plucked for naught,
And after in lifes vase
Of glass set while I might survive,
But by a kind hand brought
Alive
To a strange place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
