Famous quotes containing the words narrative and/or verse:

“The narrative impulse is always with us; we couldn’t imagine ourselves through a day without it.”

“Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
And delves the parallels in beauty’s brow,
Feeds on the rarities of nature’s truth,
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
