Deeper

Famous quotes containing the word deeper:

    ... deeper
    and deeper into Imagination’s
    holy forest, as travelers
    followed the Zohar’s dusty
    shimmering roads ...
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    My beards, attend
    To the laughter of evil: the fierce ricanery
    With the ferocious chu-chot-chu between, the sobs
    For breath to laugh the louder, the deeper gasps
    Uplifting the completest rhetoric
    Of sneers....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Gradually we come to admit that Shakespeare understands a greater extent and variety of human life than Dante; but that Dante understands deeper degrees of degradation and higher degrees of exaltation.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
