Herbert Joseph Thompson

Famous quotes containing the words herbert and/or thompson:

“Simile and Metaphor differ only in degree of stylistic refinement. The Simile, in which a comparison is made directly between two objects, belongs to an earlier stage of literary expression; it is the deliberate elaboration of a correspondence, often pursued for its own sake. But a Metaphor is the swift illumination of an equivalence. Two images, or an idea and an image, stand equal and opposite; clash together and respond significantly, surprising the reader with a sudden light.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)

“She went her unremembering way,
She went and left in me
The pang of all the partings gone,
And partings yet to be.”
—Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
