Call Letters

Famous quotes containing the words call and/or letters:

    Put shortly, these are the two views, then. One, that man is intrinsically good, spoilt by circumstance; and the other that he is intrinsically limited, but disciplined by order and tradition to something fairly decent. To the one party man’s nature is like a well, to the other like a bucket. The view which regards him like a well, a reservoir full of possibilities, I call the romantic; the one which regards him as a very finite and fixed creature, I call the classical.
    Thomas Ernest Hulme (1883–1917)

    A hunger seized my heart; I read
    Of that glad year which once had been,
    In those fallen leaves which kept their green,
    The noble letters of the dead.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
