Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or imports:
“A face peered. All the grey night
In chaos of vacancy shone;
Naught but vast sorrow was there
The sweet cheat gone.”
—Walter De La Mare (18731956)
“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)
