Exterior Scene

Famous quotes containing the words exterior and/or scene:

    Professor Eucalyptus said, “The search
    For reality is as momentous as
    The search for god.” It is the philosopher’s search
    For an interior made exterior
    And the poet’s search for the same exterior made
    Interior: breathless things broodingly abreath....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The House of Lords, architecturally, is a magnificent room, and the dignity, quiet, and repose of the scene made me unwillingly acknowledge that the Senate of the United States might possibly improve its manners. Perhaps in our desire for simplicity, absence of title, or badge of office we may have thrown over too much.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
