Famous quotes containing the words moving, body and/or maintain:

“If melodrama is the quintessence of drama, farce is the quintessence of theatre. Melodrama is written. A moving image of the world is provided by a writer. Farce is acted. The writer’s contribution seems not only absorbed but translated.... One cannot imagine melodrama being improvised. The improvised drama was pre-eminently farce.”
—Eric Bentley (b. 1916)

“Therefore we value the poet. All the argument and all the wisdom is not in the encyclopedia, or the treatise on metaphysics, or the Body of Divinity, but in the sonnet or the play.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“For three years, out of key with his time,
He strove to resuscitatethe dead art
Of poetry; to maintain “the sublime”
In the old sense.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
