External Speech

Famous quotes containing the words external and/or speech:

    My grief lies all within,
    And these external manners of laments
    Are merely shadows to the unseen grief
    That swells with silence in the tortured soul.
    There lies the substance.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It is poverty’s speech that seeks us out the most.
    It is older than the oldest speech of Rome.
    This is the tragic accent of the scene.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
