Body Effect

Famous quotes containing the words body and/or effect:

“In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in. Within me is no disturbing interplay now, but only the steady currents of adaptation and of sympathy.”
—Haniel Long (1888–1956)

“I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed.”
