Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or sequence:
“There is the empty chapel, only the wind’s home.
It has no windows, and the door swings,
Dry bones can harm no one.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
