Emptying

Famous quotes containing the word emptying:

“No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“Come with bows bent and with emptying of quivers,
Maiden most perfect,lady of light,”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
