Shadows

Famous quotes containing the word shadows:

    On white linen the silk
    of gray shadows ...
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    In the dense light of wakened flesh
    animal man is a prince. As from alabaster
    a lucency animates him from heel to forehead.
    Then his shadows are deep and not gray.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    I have no other pictures of the world apart from those which express evanescence, and callousness, vanity and anger, emptiness, or hideous useless hate. Everything has merely confirmed what I had seen and understood in my childhood: futile and sordid fits of rage, cries suddenly blanketed by the silence, shadows swallowed up for ever by the night.
    Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
