Invisible Pink Unicorns

Famous quotes containing the words invisible, pink and/or unicorns:

    The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It’s no go the picture palace, it’s no go the stadium,
    It’s no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums.
    It’s no go the Government grants, it’s no go the elections,
    Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    Redeem
    The time. Redeem.
    The unread vision in the higher dream
    While jewelled unicorns draw by the gilded hearse.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
