Eliot

Famous quotes containing the word eliot:

“Both Eliot and Pound condense; their best verse is weighted—Pound’s, with sensual experience primarily, and Eliot’s with beliefs. Where the mind’s life is concerned the senses produce images, and beliefs produce dramatic cries. The condensation is important.”
—R.P. Blackmur (1904–1965)

“What loneliness is more lonely than distrust?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

“Death is the king of this world: ‘tis his park
Where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain
Are music for his banquet”
