Originally Written

Famous quotes containing the words originally and/or written:

    Gloom and solemnity are entirely out of place in even the most rigorous study of an art originally intended to make glad the heart of man.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    I have written a wicked book, and feel spotless as the lamb. Ineffable socialities are in me. I would sit down and dine with you and all the gods in old Rome’s Pantheon. It is a strange feeling—no hopefulness is in it, no despair. Content—that is it; and irresponsibility; but without licentious inclination.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
