Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or body:
“During these fits of absolute unconsciousness I drank, God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink rather than the drink to the insanity. I had indeed, nearly abandoned all hope of a permanent cure when I found one in the death of my wife.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The body is no body to be seen
But is an eye that studies its black lid.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
