Extra Wide Gathers

Famous quotes containing the words extra, wide and/or gathers:

“Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)

“Yet therein now doth lodge a noble peer,
Great England’s glory and the world’s wide wonder,
Whose dreadful name late through all Spain did thunder,”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

“He gathers deeds
In the pure air, the agent
Of their factual excesses.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
