Small Frame

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or frame:

    It was as if a morning-glory
    had bloomed in her throat
    and all that blue
    and small pollen
    ate into my heart
    violent and religious.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Painting seems to be to the eye what dancing is to the limbs. When that has educated the frame to self-possession, to nimbleness, to grace, the steps of the dancing-master are better forgotten; so painting teaches me the splendor of color and the expression of form, and as I see many pictures and higher genius in the art, I see the boundless opulence of the pencil, the indifferency in which the artist stands free to choose out of the possible forms.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
