Present Forms

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or forms:

“There is some pleasure even in words, when they bring forgetfulness of present miseries.”

“The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
