Shapes

Famous quotes containing the word shapes:

“Men expect too much, do too little,
Put the contraption before the accomplishment,
Lack skill of the interior mind
To fashion dignity with shapes of air.
Luxury, yes but not elegance!”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“‘Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother,
Nor customary suits of solemn black,
...
Together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief,
That can denote me truly.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Runs falls rises stumbles on from darkness into darkness
and the darkness thicketed with shapes of terror
and the hunters pursuing and the hounds pursuing
and the night cold and the night long and the river
to cross and the jack-muh-lanterns beckoning beckoning
and blackness ahead”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
