Drawn Position

Famous quotes containing the words drawn and/or position:

    the heart
    of Mexico sits in the rain
    not caring to seek shelter,
    a blanket of geranium pink drawn up
    over his silent mouth.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The word “jealousy” is often used as if it were synonymous with envy; but I think the distinction worth preserving. Jealousy is predominantly concerned with the fear of loss of something one possesses, envy with the wish to own something another possesses. Othello suffers from the fear that he has lost Desdemona’s love. Iago suffers from envy of the position held by Cassio, to which he feels entitled.
    Anthony Storr (b. 1920)
