Passes Beneath

Famous quotes containing the words passes and/or beneath:

    His moving impulse is no flabby yearning to teach, to expound, to make simple; it is that “obscure inner necessity” of which Conrad tells us, the irresistible creative passion of a genuine artist, standing spell-bound before the impenetrable enigma that is life, enamoured by the strange beauty that plays over its sordidness, challenged to a wondering and half-terrified sort of representation of what passes understanding.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Toll for the brave—
    The brave! that are no more:
    All sunk beneath the wave,
    Fast by their native shore.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
