Famous quotes containing the words works and/or derricotte:
“Through the din and desultoriness of noon, even in the most Oriental city, is seen the fresh and primitive and savage nature, in which Scythians and Ethiopians and Indians dwell. What is echo, what are light and shade, day and night, ocean and stars, earthquake and eclipse, there? The works of man are everywhere swallowed up in the immensity of nature. The AEgean Sea is but Lake Huron still to the Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Poetry asks people to have values, form opinions, care about some other part of experience besides making money and being successful on the job.”
—Toi Derricotte (b. 1941)
