Role Filled

Famous quotes containing the words role and/or filled:

    Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.
    Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    A withered silence filled my chest of sorrow
    With mildewed fancies till she came to me;
    My world she made of laughter and tomorrow
    A lonely sail that gemmed a wasted sea.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
