Famous quotes containing the words shadow and/or vessel:
“I was the shadow of the waxwing slain
By the false azure in the windowpane;

Lived on, flew on, in the reflected sky.”

“A mans interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full; so you care for nothing but your own affairs. When you grow up, your vessel overflows; and you are a politician, a philosopher, or an explorer and adventurer. In old age the vessel dries up: there is no overflow: you are a child again.”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
