Famous quotes containing the word text:
“If ever I should condescend to prose,
Ill write poetical commandments, which
Shall supersede beyond all doubt all those
That went before; in these I shall enrich
My text with many things that no one knows,
And carry precept to the highest pitch:
Ill call the work Longinus oer a Bottle,
Or, Every Poet his own Aristotle.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)

—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“Don Pedro. But when shall we set the savage bulls horns on the sensible Benedicks head?
