Shapes

Famous quotes containing the word shapes:

    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)

    Nothing can happen nowhere. The locale of the happening always colours the happening, and often, to a degree, shapes it.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    The freedom of indifference, the indifference of freedom, the will dust in the dust of its object, the act a handful of sand let fall—these were some of the shapes he had sighted, sunset landfall after many days.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
