Outer Wall

Famous quotes containing the words outer and/or wall:

    The Dada object reflected an ironic posture before the consecrated forms of art. The surrealist object differs significantly in this respect. It stands for a mysterious relationship with the outer world established by man’s sensibility in a way that involves concrete forms in projecting the artist’s inner model.
    —J.H. Matthews. “Object Lessons,” The Imagery of Surrealism, Syracuse University Press (1977)

    But I would cry,
    rooted into the wall that
    was once my mother,
    if I could remember how
    and if I had the tears.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
