Body Head

Famous quotes containing the words body and/or head:

    That sound, everywhere about us, of the sea—
    the tree among its tresses has always heard it,
    and the horse dips his black body in the sound
    stretching his neck as if towards drinking water ...
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    In contrast to the flux and muddle of life, art is clarity and enduring presence. In the stream of life, few things are perceived clearly because few things stay put. Every mood or emotion is mixed or diluted by contrary and extraneous elements. The clarity of art—the precise evocation of mood in the novel, or of summer twilight in a painting—is like waking to a bright landscape after a long fitful slumber, or the fragrance of chicken soup after a week of head cold.
    Yi-Fu Tuan (b. 1930)
