Quicksilver Appears

Famous quotes containing the words quicksilver and/or appears:

    the quicksilver art
    Throws back the invisible but lightning mass
    To inhabit the room; for I have seen it part
    The palpable air....

    In this nadir of poetic repute, when the only verse that most people read from one year’s end to the next is what appears on greetings cards, it is well for us to stop and consider our poets.... Poets are the leaven in the lump of civilization.
