Smudge Pots

Famous quotes containing the words smudge and/or pots:

    “Why wouldn’t it scare me to have a fire
    Begin in smudge with ropy smoke, and know
    That still, if I repent, I may recall it,
    But in a moment not: a little spurt
    Of burning fatness, and then nothing but
    The fire itself can put it out, and that
    By burning out....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots and pans—the used things, warm with generations of human touch, ... essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
