Renaissance Men

Famous quotes containing the words renaissance and/or men:

    People nowadays like to be together not in the old-fashioned way of, say, mingling on the piazza of an Italian Renaissance city, but, instead, huddled together in traffic jams, bus queues, on escalators and so on. It’s a new kind of togetherness which may seem totally alien, but it’s the togetherness of modern technology.
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    Sure enough, moving, the thunder became men,
    Ten thousand, men hewn and tumbling,
    Mobs of ten thousand, clashing together,
    This way and that.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
