Famous quotes containing the words mouth and/or mirrors:
“Some men are like ballads, that are in everyone’s mouth a little while.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“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)
