Rapid Growth

Famous quotes containing the words rapid and/or growth:

“he dreadful darts
With rapid glide along the leaning line;
And, fixing in the wretch his cruel fangs”

“You know that the nucleus of a time is not
The poet but the poem, the growth of the mind
Of the world, the heroic effort to live expressed
As victory. The poet does not speak in ruins
Nor stand there making orotund consolations.
He shares the confusions of intelligence.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
