Famous quotes containing the words diminished and/or scale:
“The bird would cease and be as other birds
But that he knows in singing not to sing.
The question that he frames in all but words
Is what to make of a diminished thing.”

“Another armored animal—scale
lapping scale with spruce-cone regularity until they
form the uninterrupted central
tail-row!”
