Line Sheet Bronze

Famous quotes containing the words line, sheet and/or bronze:

    Expediency of literature, reason of literature, lawfulness of writing down a thought, is questioned; much is to say on both sides, and, while the fight waxes hot, thou, dearest scholar, stick to thy foolish task, add a line every hour, and between whiles add a line.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    And he was

    there in the hall, flat on a sheet of blood that
    ran down the stairs. I did appreciate it. There are few
    hosts who so thoroughly prepare to greet a guest
    only casually invited, and that several months ago.
    Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)

    Both nuns and mothers worship images,
    But those the candles light are not as those
    That animate a mother’s reveries,
    But keep a marble or a bronze repose.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
