Tense Form

Famous quotes containing the words tense and/or form:

“Existence really is an imperfect tense that never becomes a present.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
—Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)
