Fading Models

Famous quotes containing the words fading and/or models:

    a little sight left in the corner
    Of one eye fading seeing something wave lies believing
    That she could have made it
    James Dickey (b. 1923)

    French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
