Red Frame

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or frame:

    “Her breasts under her gown
    are cold,
    for a flower has grown,
    murex-red
    on the red gown.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Painting seems to be to the eye what dancing is to the limbs. When that has educated the frame to self-possession, to nimbleness, to grace, the steps of the dancing-master are better forgotten; so painting teaches me the splendor of color and the expression of form, and as I see many pictures and higher genius in the art, I see the boundless opulence of the pencil, the indifferency in which the artist stands free to choose out of the possible forms.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
