Famous quotes containing the words station and/or opens:
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“Poetry is one of the destinies of speech.... One would say that the poetic image, in its newness, opens a future to language.”
