Held Private

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or private:

“And knew that nature could not more refine
What it had given in a looking-glass
And held there, after the living body’s line
Has moved wherever it must move ...”

Of private experience at its greatest intensity
Becoming universal, which we call “poetry,”
May be affirmed in verse.”
