Mouth Mirrors

Famous quotes containing the words mouth and/or mirrors:

    Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner, for it was not sent him of the Lord.
    Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus 15:9.

    Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
