Famous quotes containing the word images:

    How clean the sun when seen in its idea,
    Washed in the remotest cleanliness of a heaven
    That has expelled us and our images . . .
    The death of one god is the death of all.
    Let purple Phoebus lie in umber harvest,
    Let Phoebus slumber and die in autumn umber....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    no images of pastoral will,
    But fear, thirst, hunger, and huddled chill.

    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
