Left Boundary

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or boundary:

“Even by noon
of the very first day,
she’d etched the wall
with lines, counting
he left today,
he left today,
he left today.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“In the west, Apollo and Dionysus strive for victory. Apollo makes the boundary lines that are civilization but that lead to convention, constraint, oppression. Dionysus is energy unbound, mad, callous, destructive, wasteful. Apollo is law, history, tradition, the dignity and safety of custom and form. Dionysus is the new, exhilarating but rude, sweeping all away to begin again. Apollo is a tyrant, Dionysus is a vandal.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
