Famous quotes containing the words clay, court and/or season:
“And here the precious dust is layd;
Whose purely temperd Clay was made
So fine, that it the guest betrayd.
Else the soule grew so fast within,
It broke the outward shell of sinne,
And so was hatchd a Cherubin.”
—Thomas Carew (15891639)
“GOETHE, raised oer joy and strife,
Drew the firm lines of Fate and Life,
And brought Olympian wisdom down
To court and mar, to gown and town,
Stooping, his finger wrote in clay
The open secret of to-day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
