Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or metaphors:
“So Spring comes merry towards me here, but earns
No answering smile from me, whose life is twind
With the dead boughs that winter still must bind,”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (18281882)
“Life, as the most ancient of all metaphors insists, is a journey; and the travel book, in its deceptive simulation of the journeys fits and starts, rehearses lifes own fragmentation. More even than the novel, it embraces the contingency of things.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
