Closely

Famous quotes containing the word closely:

“Description is revelation. It is not
The thing described, nor false facsimile.
It is an artificial thing that exists,
In its own seeming, plainly visible,
Yet not too closely the double of our lives,
Intenser than any actual life could be....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.”
—Luc, Marquis de Vauvenargues (1715–1747)

“Follow your genius closely enough, and it will not fail to show you a fresh prospect every hour.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
