Famous quotes containing the words severe and/or acute:
“from deep in the dark head
his smile glowing
outward into the
room’s severe twilight,
he lies....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
