Famous quotes containing the words free and/or algebra:

    “In some unused lagoon, some nameless bay,
    On sluggish, lonesome waters, anchor’d near the shore,
    An old, dismasted, gray and batter’d ship, disabled, done,
    After free voyages to all the seas of earth, haul’d up at last and
    hawser’d tight,
    Lies rusting, mouldering.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
