Original Plaster Model

Famous quotes containing the words original, plaster and/or model:

    He would cry out on life, that what it wants
    Is not its own love back in copy speech,
    But counter-love, original response.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    My father upon the Abbey stage, before him a raging crowd.
    “This Land of Saints,” and then as the applause died out,
    “Of plaster Saints;” his beautiful mischievous head thrown back.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!
    Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
