Empty List

Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or list:

    There comes a time when the waltz
    Is no longer a mode of desire, a mode
    Of revealing desire and is empty of shadows.
    Too many waltzes have ended.

    Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.
