Figure Shows

Famous quotes containing the words figure and/or shows:

“On every tree a bucket with a lid,
And on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow.
The sparks made no attempt to be the moon.
They were content to figure in the trees
As Leo, Orion, and the Pleiades.
And that was what the boughs were full of soon.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence;
not in silence, but restraint.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
