Grey Imports

Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or imports:

    In sunburnt parks where Sundays lie,
    Or the wide wastes beyond the cities,
    Teams in grey deploy through sunlight.

    Talk it up, boys, a little practice.
    Robert Fitzgerald (1910–1985)

    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)
