Filling

Famous quotes containing the word filling:

    To play is nothing but the imitative substitution of a pleasurable, superfluous and voluntary action for a serious, necessary, imperative and difficult one. At the cradle of play as well as of artistic activity there stood leisure, tedium entailed by increased spiritual mobility, a horror vacui, the need of letting forms no longer imprisoned move freely, of filling empty time with sequences of notes, empty space with sequences of form.
    Max J. Friedländer (1867–1958)

    the gap of today filling itself
    as emptiness is distributed
    in the idea of what time it is
    when that time is already past
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    the focused beam
    folds all energy in:
    the image glares filling all space:
    the head falls and
    hangs and cannot wake itself.
    Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
