Famous quotes containing the words italian and/or descent:
“If the study of his images
Is the study of man, this image of Saturday,
This Italian symbol, this Southern landscape, is like
A waking, as in images we awake,
Within the very object that we seek,
Participants of its being.”

“When power becomes gracious and descends into the visible—such descent I call beauty.”
