Small Block

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or block:

“‘Or like small gnats and flies, as thick as mist
On evening marches, thronged about the brow
Of lawyers, statesmen, priest and theorist;—”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
—Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)
