Famous quotes containing the words term and/or cathedral:
“In eloquence, the great triumphs of the art are when the orator is lifted above himself; when consciously he makes himself the mere tongue of the occasion and the hour, and says what cannot but be said. Hence the term abandonment, to describe the self-surrender of the orator.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Theres a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)
