Call Rejection

Famous quotes containing the words call and/or rejection:

“Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“In his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded.... He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
