Famous quotes containing the words canon and/or carver:
“O! that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew;
Or that the Everlasting had not fixd
His canon gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God!
How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world.
Fie ont! O fie! tis an unweeded garden,
That grows to seed;”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“I believe the right question to ask, respecting all ornament, is simply this: Was it done with enjoymentwas the carver happy while he was about it?”
—John Ruskin (18191900)
