Sun Bowl Record

Famous quotes containing the words sun, bowl and/or record:

    A feme may come, leaf-green,
    Whose coming may give revel
    Beyond revelries of sleep,
    Yes, and the blackbird spread its tail,
    So that the sun may speckle,
    While it creaks hail.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or
    the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the
    cistern.
    Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit
    shall return unto God who gave it.
    Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher, all is vanity.
    Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. XII, 6–7)

    The business of a novelist is, in my opinion, to create characters first and foremost, and then to set them in the snarl of the human currents of his time, so that there results an accurate permanent record of a phase of human history.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
