Condensed Steam

Famous quotes containing the words condensed and/or steam:

    “If you read only the best, you will have no need of reading the other books, because the latter are nothing but a rehash of the best and the oldest. To read Shakespeare, Plato, Dante, Milton, Spenser, Chaucer, and their compeers in prose, is to read in condensed form what all others have diluted.”
    —Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

    “Wisely watch for the sight
    Of the supernova burgeoning over the barn,
    Lampshine blurred in the steam of beasts, the spirit’s right
    Oasis, light incarnate.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
