Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “We picked each other from afar and knew
    What hour of terror comes to test the soul,
    And in that terror’s name obeyed the call,
    And understood, what none have understood,
    Those images that waken in the blood.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “A daydream is a meal at which images are eaten. Some of us are gourmets, some gourmands, and a good many take their images precooked out of a can and swallow them down whole, absent-mindedly and with little relish.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “Style a tablet at every noon time, Lady,
    With bold images of a timid boy!”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
