Supported Picture

Famous quotes containing the words supported and/or picture:

“The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.”

And how the cunning picture holds her still
At just that smiling instant when her soul,
Grown sweetly faint, and swept beyond control,
Consents to his inexorable will.”
